3M Tegaderm 1610 I.V.Transparent Film Dressing, Paediatric Peripheral, 5 cm x 5.7 cm

This is a transparent film dressing designed for the securement and protection of paediatric peripheral intravenous catheter sites. The dressing is constructed from a medical-grade porous material that facilitates gas exchange, allowing oxygen to enter and moisture vapor to exit, which helps maintain a suitable environment at the catheter insertion site. Its transparent nature permits direct visual inspection of the site without the need for dressing removal, aiding in early detection of potential complications.

The dressing features a notched design intended to create a secure seal around the catheter hub, thereby reducing the risk of microbial contamination and dislodgement. The material is also waterproof, serving as a barrier against external contaminants such as bacteria and viruses. The dressing is supplied with a structured delivery system that enables single-handed application and prevents the dressing from adhering to itself during the application process.

This product is intended for single use and is designed for extended wear, providing continuous protection for the catheter site. It is available in a size of 5 cm by 5.7 cm and is specifically indicated for paediatric patients.

The dressing is supplied in individual units and also in larger quantities for clinical settings. Users should ensure the packaging is intact before use and discontinue application if any signs of irritation occur. Storage should be in a cool, dry environment.
