Description
The ASGUARD EXCEED IV DRESSING HIGH MVTR by Sentry Medical is an advanced solution for securing and protecting intravenous (IV) insertion sites. This sterile, waterproof dressing is crafted from a high moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR) film, allowing excess moisture to evaporate effectively. This feature ensures optimal moisture management, maintaining a healthy environment at the insertion site and reducing the risk of maceration.
Key Features
- Transparent Design: The dressing's transparency allows for continuous monitoring of the insertion site without the need for removal, enhancing patient care and convenience.
- Secure Adhesion: Equipped with a laminated non-woven border and a high tack, slow release adhesive, it provides firm fixation while being gentle on the skin. This minimizes device movement and reduces the risk of premature displacement.
- Easy Application: The peel frame with easy-to-grab tabs and deep notch design facilitates simple application and reduces the risk of catheter or device dislodgement.
- Additional Securement: Includes fixation strips for securing cannulas, IV lines, and ports, along with an insertion date label for procedure documentation.
Intended Use
Ideal for use with peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC), peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC), central venous catheters (CVC), and Ports, this dressing is suitable for environments where high MVTR is crucial. It also serves well in covering and protecting wounds requiring moisture vapour transmission and waterproof protection.
Application Guidelines
- Site Preparation: Follow standard protocols.
- Positioning: Align the notch over the catheter or device and smooth the dressing for full adhesion.
- Securement: Apply securement tape and insertion date label as needed.
- Removal: Use the 'stretch and release' technique or an adhesive remover wipe to minimize skin damage.
Precautions
- Allergy Considerations: Not recommended for individuals with known allergies to any of the dressing’s components.
