IV/Catheter Transparent Film Dressing Border / Frame / Window

1. Product Definition & Positioning

IV / Catheter Transparent Film Dressing is a sterile transparent fixation dressing designed for securement and protection of catheter and IV insertion sites.
It combines a semi-permeable transparent PU film with a medical-grade acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive and an integrated border, frame, or window structure to ensure accurate placement and long-term securement.

Positioned for hospitals, clinics, medical distributors, and OEM medical brands, this product is engineered for catheter and line fixation with site visibility, rather than wound absorption, compression therapy, or mechanical immobilization.
