Adhesive polyurethane film Catheter Dressing

Pharmapore®PU IV Frame Style Transparent film dressing specifically designed to meet the needs of catheter fixation and to keep the catheter site dry.

• Reduces risk of infection by preventing moisture accumulation

Pharmapore® PU IV Frame Style has a unique molecular structure which is significantly more permeable to water vapour than ordinary films. This prevents the accumulation of moisture underneath the dressing associated with bacterial growth and reduces the risk of catheter-related infection.

• Minimises dressing changes

The higher permeability Pharmapore® PU IV Frame Style keeps the skin drier so improving dressing adherence and reducing the number of dressing changes.

• Greater patient comfort

Pharmapore® PU IV Frame Style is kind to the patient’s skin. Its’ low allergy adhesive and highly permeablePU film help prevent skin maceration or irritation and result in improved patient comfort.

• Excellent catheter stability

The highly conformable Pharmapore® PU IV Frame Style film allows the patient to move freely and yet will remain firmly adhered around the catheter hub so ensuring excellent fixation.

• Convenient visual inspection

Pharmapore® PU IV Frame Style is transparent and so allows regular inspection of the catheter insertion site for signs of infection or phlebitis without the need for dressing removal.
