It features a bordered, notched, and reinforced design with soft cloth tape edges that creates a waterproof, bacteria-proof barrier while maintaining moisture vapour permeability for skin respiration. This CE-marked Class I medical device is supplied in boxes of 100 units and is indicated for securing IV cannulae, central venous catheters, and infusion port access sites in clinical and home care settings.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bpositive IV Secure Film Dressing is a transparent polyurethane membrane dressing specifically designed for intravenous catheter site management. The dressing provides a dual-function barrier: it is impermeable to water and microorganisms from the external environment while remaining permeable to moisture vapour and atmospheric gases, maintaining the skin's physiological moisture balance at the catheter insertion site. This moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR) characteristic is critical for reducing maceration-related complications at IV sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bordered construction incorporates reinforced cloth tape edges with a central notch to accommodate catheter hub geometry, ensuring a secure and conformable fit around peripheral IV cannulae, midline catheters, and central venous access devices. The transparent polyurethane film allows continuous visual monitoring of the insertion site for early detection of phlebitis, infiltration, or catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) signs without dressing removal, in accordance with CDC Guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBPositive Medical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eTransparent IV Catheter Securement Film Dressing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003e6.5 cm x 7 cm (bordered)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eTransparent polyurethane film with hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive; reinforced soft cloth tape border\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDesign Features\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBordered, notched, and reinforced; central catheter accommodation notch; cloth tape edges for secure adhesion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBarrier Properties\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eWaterproof and bacteria-proof; semi-permeable to moisture vapour and gases (MVTR-optimised)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSterility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eIndividually sterile-packed; EO (ethylene oxide) sterilised per ISO 11135\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eLatex Content\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eLatex-free; hypoallergenic adhesive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRegulatory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCE Marked (Class I Medical Device, EU MDR 2017\/745); ISO 13485 quality management system; manufactured in compliance with ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBox of 100 individually sterile-packed dressings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eStorage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eStore in a cool, dry place (15–25°C).

For short peripheral IV catheters, dressing changes should coincide with catheter replacement, typically every 72–96 hours, or when clinically indicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this dressing suitable for patients with sensitive or fragile skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dressing utilises a hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive that is latex-free, conforming to ISO 10993 biocompatibility requirements. For patients with known adhesive sensitivities or fragile skin (e.g., neonatal, geriatric, or oncology patients), clinicians should perform a small patch test and consider using a skin barrier preparation prior to application. The reinforced cloth tape border distributes peel forces more evenly than film-only dressings, potentially reducing mechanical skin trauma during removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this dressing be used with chlorhexidine-impregnated disc securement devices?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 6.5 x 7 cm dressing dimensions accommodate standard chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) antimicrobial disc devices (e.g., BioPatch) placed at the catheter insertion site. The transparent film allows visual monitoring of the CHG disc positioning and skin condition without removing the dressing, supporting combined antimicrobial and barrier protection strategies recommended by the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between this IV-specific dressing and a standard wound film dressing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bpositive IV Secure Film Dressing incorporates a catheter-specific notched design with reinforced cloth tape edges that conform around IV hubs, Luer connections, and tubing. Standard wound film dressings lack this notch geometry and border reinforcement, resulting in inferior securement around catheter sites. The IV-specific design reduces accidental catheter dislodgement and maintains a more consistent waterproof seal around the insertion point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can this product be purchased in Singapore?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bpositive IV Secure Film Dressing (6.5 x 7 cm, Box of 100) is available in Singapore through EMIS+ (Essential Medical International Supplies Pte Ltd) at emis.asia.
