Product details
This sterile, breathable, waterproof, vapor-permeable dressing features a transparent film and adhesive, allowing for precise placement and continuous ob-servation of the insertion site. It is easy to apply and remove and your patients can wear it while bathing or showering,* allowing them to maintain their reg-ular routine. The dressing also features a conforming edge border designed to reduce edge lift and a deep notch that shifts the securement force to the center of the dressing, ensuring a tight seal around the insertion site, catheter hubs and lumens. Plus, you can use it with our other medical products, including Cavilon™ No Sting Barrier Film.
