Premium Transparent Film Dressing for Superior Wound Care & IV Site Protection

The Medline Suresite 123 Sterile Transparent Film Dressing represents the gold standard in transparent wound care technology, delivering exceptional protection and monitoring capabilities for healthcare professionals and patients alike. This advanced medical-grade film dressing combines simplicity of application with superior performance, making it the ideal choice for primary or secondary wound dressing applications across clinical and home healthcare settings.

Key Benefits & Clinical Advantages

• Crystal-Clear Visualization Window: The transparent design enables continuous, non-invasive monitoring of insertion sites and wound progression without removing the dressing, reducing infection risk and improving patient outcomes
• Waterproof & Shower-Safe Protection: Conformable, waterproof barrier shields wounds and IV sites from external contaminants, moisture, and bacteria while allowing patients to shower with confidence
• Optimal Moisture Management: Conventional moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) maintains the ideal moisture balance at the wound site, promoting faster healing while preventing maceration
• Extended Wear Time: Can remain in place for up to 7 days depending on wound drainage levels, reducing dressing change frequency and improving cost-efficiency
• Latex-Free Formulation: Not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring safe use for patients and healthcare workers with latex sensitivities or allergies
• Self-Adhesive & Easy Application: Innovative 1-2-3 application system with dual adhesive liners ensures quick, accurate placement without the dressing sticking to itself during application
• Flexible & Conformable Design: Adapts seamlessly to body contours and joint movement, maintaining secure adhesion even on challenging anatomical locations

Clinical Indications & Applications

Primary Dressing Uses:

• Securing and protecting peripheral IV catheter sites
• Central venous catheter (CVC) site protection
• PICC line site coverage and monitoring
• Post-surgical incision protection for minimal drainage wounds
• Minor abrasions, cuts, and superficial wounds
• Donor site coverage and protection

Secondary Dressing Applications:

• Securing primary wound dressings in place
• Protecting gauze or foam dressings from external contamination
• Reinforcing wound care protocols in multi-layer dressing systems

Professional-Grade Features

• Sterile & Single-Use: Each dressing is individually packaged in sterile conditions to maintain aseptic technique and prevent cross-contamination
• Breathable Film Technology: Allows oxygen exchange while blocking bacteria and fluids, creating an optimal healing environment
• Hypoallergenic Adhesive: Gentle yet secure adhesion minimizes skin trauma and irritation during wear and removal
• Transparent Monitoring: Enables visual assessment of wound healing progress, exudate levels, and early detection of complications without disturbing the wound bed

Simple 3-Step Application Process

1. Step 1: Remove the first adhesive liner from the dressing
2. Step 2: Apply the dressing carefully over the wound or insertion site, ensuring proper coverage
3. Step 3: Remove the second adhesive liner and smooth down all edges for complete seal and adhesion

Clinical Guidelines & Best Practices

Dressing Change Frequency: The frequency of dressing changes should be determined by the amount and type of wound drainage. For optimal results, assess the dressing daily and change when drainage accumulates, edges lift, or at 7-day maximum wear time.

Contraindications: Not recommended as a primary dressing for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. For high-drainage wounds, consider using as a secondary dressing over an appropriate absorbent primary dressing.

Important Safety Precautions: If redness, irritation, increased pain, or signs of infection develop at the application site, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. This product is designed for single use only—do not reuse or resterilize.
