Benefits
Reduces risk of infection by preventing moisture accumulation
Prosite™-PU IV has a unique molecular structure which is significantly more permeable to water
vapor than ordinary films. This prevents the accumulation of moisture underneath the dressing
associated with bacterial growth and reduces the risk of catheter-related infection.
Minimizes dressing changes
The higher permeability of Prosite®-PU I .V. keeps the skin drier to improve adherence and reduce
the number of dressing changes.
Greater patient comfort
Prosite™-PU IV is easy on skin. Its hypoallergenic adhesive and highly permeable PU film prevent
skin maceration or irritation and results in improved patient comfort.
Excellent catheter stability
The highly adaptable Prosite™-PU IV film allows the patient to move freely and yet will remain
firmly in place around the catheter hub to ensure excellent fixation.
Convenient visual inspection
Prosite™-PU IV is transparent and so allows regular inspection of the catheter site for signs of
infection or phlebitis without the need of dressing removal.
How to use
Step (1): Open sealed pouch and take the dressing out.
Step (2): Position the dressing with the catheter port sitting in the opened, fenestrated area and
adhere the dressing over the catheter insertion site and over wings of the catheter.
Step (3): Mold the film around the catheter to complete dressing application.
