Every I.V. site presents the potential for infection, dislodgement, skin damage, and other complications. These complications can potentially cause patient discomfort, extended hospital stays, additional therapy and surgical intervention, even increased patient mortality. 3M Science has delivered innovations that give you what you need to protect every I.V. catheter—from insertion to removal.

3M™ Tegaderm™ I.V. Advanced Securement Dressings are comprehensively designed to deliver exceptional patient care through advanced catheter securement, superior wear time and gentle application and removal. Two new specially sized dressings help paediatric clinicians care for their diverse and critically important patient population.

Providing exceptional I.V. site care is a tough job. You’re expected to ensure I.V. sites are stable and secure and manage the risk of infections, all in a cost-effective manner. Tegaderm Advanced IV Securement Dressings include a deep notch, stabilization border, and dual adhesive technology to provide the comfort and protection your patients deserve.

By collaborating with clinicians to simplify and improve I.V. site care, 3M designed a system that provides reliable securement without sacrificing patient comfort. The 3M™ Tegaderm™ PICC/CVC Securement System includes a securement device with silicone adhesive that balances secure adhesion with gentleness to skin, and an I.V. securement dressing specifically designed to enhance securement of the device.

Patients receiving intravenous medication are less likely to contract a bloodstream infection if the insertion site is covered by the 3M™ Tegaderm™ CHG I.V. Securement Dressing, recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). The transparent chlorhexidine gel pad sits over the catheter insertion site giving antimicrobial protection while maintaining visibility of the insertion site.

3M offers reliable, clinically proven solutions for managing a variety of infusion therapy sites. 3M's range of products is designed to reduce the challenges of device securement and site assessment, protect the sites from outside contaminants and improve skin health. 3M™ Tegaderm™ IV Dressings are available to secure and protect all types of catheters.
