Opsite IV 3000 consist of a thin hydrophilic polyurethane membrane coated with a layer of an acrylic emulsion adhesive. Because of the hydrophilic nature of the film, the dressing is highly permeable to water vapour, (about 3000 g/m ²/24hours), but impermeable to micro-organisms. Once in position, therefore, it provides an effective barrier to external contamination. The Opsite IV 3000 film is presented on a paper carrier and has two removable `handles' to facilitate application. The Opsite IV 3000 One Hand is presented on a paper carrier and one polypropylene carrier for ease of application.
Because the high permeability of the film permits the rapid loss of water vapour from the surface of the patient's skin to the external environment, it prevents the accumulation of moisture beneath the dressing and thus provides a dry environment which inhibits bacterial proliferation. This in turn reduces the possibility of infection occurring at the catheter site.
