Key Features

• Secure Adhesion & Gentle Removal - Uses a **hypoallergenic, acrylic adhesive** that bonds firmly to skin around the catheter, preventing dislodgement, while peeling off painlessly without residue or trauma.
• Sterile & Antimicrobial Options - Pre-sterilized for aseptic application; some variants incorporate **chlorhexidine-impregnated gels** or **silver ions** to reduce bacterial colonization at the insertion site.
• Waterproof & Moisture-Resistant - Maintains adhesion during patient bathing, sweating, or humid conditions, minimizing contamination risks.
• Conformable & Flexible Design - Stretches and molds to body contours (e.g., elbows, hands) without restricting movement or causing pressure on the catheter.
• Absorbent Pad Integration - Some dressings include a central foam or hydrocolloid pad to manage light exudate, blood, or antiseptic solution at the catheter hub.
• Tape-Free & Low Profile - Eliminates the need for additional tape, reducing skin irritation and bulkiness around the IV site.
• Extended Wear Time - Designed to remain intact for up to 7 days (depending on clinical protocol), reducing frequent dressing changes and healthcare costs.
