IV Catheters Dressing

IV catheter dressings are an integral part of intravenous therapy, ensuring the site where the catheter enters the skin remains clean, dry, and secure. These dressings are designed to protect the catheter site from infection, minimize movement of the catheter, and maintain the integrity of the insertion site. IV catheter dressings are typically made of sterile, breathable materials that allow for airflow while providing a barrier against contaminants. Some dressings are transparent, allowing healthcare providers to monitor the catheter site without removing the dressing. Proper care and maintenance of IV catheter dressings are essential to prevent complications and ensure the effectiveness of intravenous therapy.
