Maxipore I.V. (Nonwoven): A Sterile Dressing for Catheter Fixation

Maxipore I.V. (Nonwoven)

Intravenous and central line catheters require a dressing that holds the device in place while allowing the site to be monitored. The stated function of this product is fixation for both I.V. and central line use.

The carrier is a nonwoven material, described as elastic and conforming to body contours. That elastic behavior matters where dressings cross joints or curved anatomy, since rigidity can lift edges and compromise adhesion.

The wound pad is listed as non-adherent, which the source links to the dressing’s construction rather than to a clinical outcome. Application is described as easy, and the product is supplied sterile.

Four sizes are listed: 6×8, 7×6, 7×9, and 8.5×11.5. The specification table gives carton dimensions of 29 by 46 by 33 for all sizes, with inner box quantities of 50 or 100 and outer box quantities ranging from 1200 to 1700 units.

Those pack counts indicate a bulk supply format oriented toward institutional purchasing rather than single-unit retail. Buyers comparing suppliers would need to confirm dressing size, sterility documentation, and shelf-life terms, none of which the listing states beyond the sterile claim.

Because the pad is non-adherent, users should verify how it performs against the specific catheter and skin conditions in their protocol. The input confirms construction and packaging, not clinical performance.

The main procurement question is not whether the dressing exists in the right size, but whether the sterile barrier, adhesive behavior, and wear time match the facility’s infection-control requirements.

Why it matters:
Dressings are low-cost items with outsized workflow impact. Confirm sterility documentation, size fit, and change-interval compatibility before standardizing a supplier.
