Curafix IV Control Dressing for Catheter Fixation with Viewing Window is a hydrophilic foam dressing
INTENDED USES: For the retention of cannulas and catheters on the skin and as a mechanical barrier to protect the puncture site; Suitable for peripheral venous access (PVC)
CLAIMED BENEFITS: Curafix IV Control is ergonomically shaped and consists of a stabilising border made from nonwoven/film laminate. The porous adhesive coating on the viewing window minimises the risk of moisture collecting under the dressing.* Furthermore, the one-piece counterfixation element can be adapted to fit the cannula’s design. The cutout provides additional fixation for cannulas with a push-off plate.
Surgical Dressing Holders can be reusable or disposable. In this category are the Montgomery straps, which are paired adhesive straps applied to either side of a wound (usually abdominal), the central sections of which are folded back on themselves with several perforations at the leading edges. This provides a method of securing a bandage and subsequently changing it without having to replace the tape each time.
