Application of transparent dressing in clinical nursing work

1. What is a transparent dressing?

Transparent dressing is a fine film dressing that can breathe with the skin. It is made of materials such as high-permeability polyurethane film and moisture-permeable acrylic adhesive through an actual coating process. Its main functions include 1. Waterproof patients can take showers and baths to resist the invasion of bacteria and prevent feeling; 2. Its moisture permeability and breathability can prevent the skin from being soaked.

2. Use scenarios of intravenous infusion fixation tools and their existing product defects

In the clinical practice of intravenous infusion, medical tapes, gauze, and bandages are primarily used to fix the indwelling needles. Still, these methods will cause the indwelling hands to be unstable and prone to detachment, and the non-water resistance of the above tools will also increase the risk of needle-mouth infection. Excessive use can cause allergic skin reactions in patients. Central venous catheter infection has become a common phenomenon due to the defect of intravenous infusion fixation tools. According to the survey, the incidence of the nosocomial disease is 5%-30%. Therefore, improving intravenous fluid fixation tools is necessary to effectively prevent central venous catheter infection.

3. Efficacy and advantages of the new transparent dressing:

Innovative transparent dressings are gradually being used in major hospitals as an alternative tool to improve intravenous fluid fixation. The new transparent dressing is easy to use and has strong viscosity. It can reduce the inconvenience caused by tape marks and re-fixation after the standard tape falls off and reduce the need to re-sterilize the catheter after extubation. Not only that, the innovative transparent dressing is waterproof, which can effectively prevent natural infection. Its transparency is helpful for doctors to observe the wound condition at any time. According to the patient's implementation, the doctor can deal with it in time, thereby reducing the incidence of allergic reactions.

4. Introduction of Longterm innovative transparent dressing:

Longterm Medical innovative transparent dressing has always led the industry among the existing fine dressing products. While solving the problem of the original sauce, Longterm Medical creative transparent dressing is also attached with a breathable tape for recording and fixing, which is convenient for the operator to record the patient's name, time, and bed number and can strengthen the fixation, making it more convenient to operate. The products used in different scenarios have been addedincluding paper frame type, high permeability point grid type, PICC antibacterial dressing, transparent dressing for infusion fixation, transparent wound dressing, etc. Application scenarios include surgical anesthesia catheter, pulmonary artery intubation, renal dialysis intubation, analgesic pump intubation, etc.
