Product Overview
BPositive film dressings are manufactured for primary and acute care use, providing a thin, conformable polyurethane barrier with moisture-vapour permeability calibrated to support the natural epidermal moisture balance while excluding external contamination. The transparent construction supports continuous visual assessment of the insertion site or peri-wound skin without dressing removal, reducing unnecessary dressing changes and the associated infection risk described in CDC and INS intravenous therapy standards.
The hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive provides secure fixation on intact skin and is removable without stripping fragile epidermis. The sterile pouch packaging and single-use design conform to Singapore Ministry of Health and HSA infection-control expectations for peripheral catheter securement and post-operative incision cover.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this dressing be used directly on an exuding wound?
A: No. Semi-permeable film dressings without an absorbent pad are indicated for intact skin, nearly-healed wounds, or as a secondary cover. Exuding wounds require an absorbent primary dressing (foam, alginate, hydrofibre) with the film used only as a secondary fixation layer.
Q: How often should the dressing be changed at a PIV site?
A: The Infusion Nurses Society 2021 Standards recommend routine transparent dressing change every 5-7 days unless the dressing is damp, loose, or visibly soiled. The transparent film supports visual inspection for signs of phlebitis, infiltration, or infection without removal.
Q: Is the patient able to shower with this dressing?
A: Yes. The water and bacteria-proof film is intended to maintain integrity during routine showering. Complete submersion, swimming, or sauna use is not recommended as prolonged water contact may compromise the adhesive seal.
Q: What skin preparation is required before application?
A: Clean the skin with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate in 70% isopropyl alcohol (per Singapore national IV therapy guideline) and allow full drying before application. Skin must be free of oils, lotions, and hair clippings that reduce adhesive contact.
Q: Is this product suitable for Singapore hospital and clinic use?
A: Yes. BPositive film dressings are registered with the Singapore HSA Medical Device Register. EMIS supplies Singapore public and private hospitals, dialysis centres, home-care agencies, and ambulatory clinics.
