Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often should the dressing be changed?
Change frequency follows care protocols and the condition of the skin or I.V. line. Replace when adhesion loosens, the dressing becomes wet/soiled, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
The non-woven backing and hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive are designed for good tolerance. For patients with a history of skin reactions, test on a small area and monitor for irritation.
Can it be combined with transparent film or additional fixation?
Yes, provided any additional material does not hinder site inspection or compromise local hygiene. The choice depends on protocol and the expected dwell time of the catheter.
