Leukoplast Leukomed I.V. film- 7*9 CM

This is a sterile, transparent film dressing designed for the secure and reliable fixation of intravenous (I.V.) catheters and cannulas.

Measuring 7 by 9 centimeters, this dressing provides a protective barrier against external contaminants such as water, bacteria, and dirt, which is crucial for minimizing the risk of catheter-related infections. The dressing is constructed from a thin and flexible material that conforms readily to the contours of the body, facilitating stable catheter placement even with patient movement. Its design is intended for use in various healthcare environments, including clinical settings and home care.

The material's breathability allows for air exchange, helping to prevent moisture accumulation beneath the dressing and reducing the potential for skin maceration. The transparency of the film is a significant advantage, enabling continuous visual inspection of the insertion site without the need to remove the dressing. This allows for early detection of any signs of inflammation, irritation, or other complications while maintaining the integrity of the sterile barrier.

The adhesive used is formulated to provide a secure hold for extended periods, ensuring the dressing remains in place and the catheter is effectively stabilized. Furthermore, the adhesive application is designed to allow for gentle and pain-free removal from the skin, contributing to patient comfort. The dressing is waterproof, permitting patients to shower while the I.

V. site remains protected and sterile. Its bacteria-proof nature actively shields the insertion point from microbial ingress.

The flexibility of the film makes it suitable for application on areas of the body that experience frequent movement, such as joints. To use, the skin around the insertion site should be cleaned and thoroughly dried. The backing material is then removed to expose the adhesive surface.

The transparent window of the dressing is centered over the catheter hub or cannula. The edges of the dressing are pressed firmly from the center outwards to create a complete seal. Any top application layer is then carefully removed, leaving the thin film in place.

This product is intended for single use only and should not be reused. It is for external application on intact skin surrounding the puncture site. In cases of increased redness, swelling, or persistent discomfort at the site, medical consultation is advised.

Storage should be in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.
