How to use

Curafix i.v. control is applied in the same way as a standard, nonwoven adhesive dressing: there are no difficult-to-use grip tabs or complicated application techniques. This reduces workload and increases safety for healthcare professionals and patients.

Wear time

Intervals between dressing changes must be determined by the clinician, based on the condition of the puncture site and level of exudate.
