Another suggestion:
- Wipe site with
3M
No Sting Barrier Film.
- Apply Smith and Nephew IV3000 dressing. First cut the width to match the infusion
set, then after the Step-One application (of the IV3000) is on, trim the "length" to
the infusion set length (about the junction of the IV3000 Step-Two piece).
- Wipe IV3000 with 3M No Sting Barrier Film.
- Insert infusion set through IV3000 dressing.
- Wipe 3M No Sting Barrier Film above and below the plug on the
infusion set.
- Apply one piece of 3M Micro-Pore
surgical tape on both top and bottom edges of the infusion set.
This helps keep the edge from being
exposed to water and working loose.
