ABSTRACT:
A film dressing for catheter sites and a method for applying and making such a dressing are provided. Preferably, the film dressing has a foam layer. A moisture vapor semi-permeable film may be secured to the foam layer. A window in the foam layer allows for viewing of the catheter site. The moisture vapor semi-permeable film may be coated with an adhesive for application to a catheter site. The adhesive may vary in strength and pattern. The dressing may further have a liner coated with silicone for use in protection of the semi-permeable film. A label may be removable attached to the silicone coated liner. The dressing may further have additional foam pieces for use in the application of the dressing to a patient. The dressing may have different colors indicating, for example, the strength of the adhesive used with the dressing.
