ABSTRACT:
A dressing and a method for applying the same to a catheter entry site are provided. The dressing may have a transparent film within the dressing which may allow an individual to view, for example, a catheter entry site, or a wound on a patient. A portion of the transparent film may be free from adhesive, which may enable the dressing to be removed from the catheter entry site without inadvertent adhesion of the film to the patient and/or a catheter. Further, the dressing may be flexible and may contour to a shape of a catheter to prevent contaminants from entering the site.
