IV Dressing

Combining a thin and transparent polyurethane film with a woven cloth pad that allows the skin to breathe, the IV dressings available here at Care Shop are a sterile and comfortable solution to the problems of vein bleeds and cannulae and infusion lines. Their unique structure is more water permeable than ordinary dressings, preventing the build-up of moisture and enabling the dressing to protect against bacterial growth and reduce the risk of infection. While the adhesive backing provides reliable fixation, a highly absorbent micro-porous fabric absorbs effusion, preventing the dressing from sticking to the injection point.

The thinner material used in IV dressings also allows for greater movement, ensuring the comfort of the patient as well as their safety. A ‘no-tension’ method of application is delivered through a ‘frame system’ that prevents the discomfort of taut or bunched skin. Our tried-and-tested 3M Tegaderm range includes dressings perfectly suited to use with catheters and cannulae, as well as dressings designed for a variety of wounds, whether minor abrasion or acute post-operative incision.

As well as IV dressings, we provide a wide range of other equipment such as IV tubing and IV stands, so you can find everything you need to provide high quality IV therapy. Take a look at our full range of IV and injection equipment to find everything you need right here at Care Shop.
