A sterile, disposable, polyurethane intravenous catheter dressing (OpSite; Smith & Nephew), was compared with a conventional dressing for both convenience and cost. Despite lack of familiarity, the use of OpSite proved as easy and acceptable as the traditional non-sterile control method. OpSite was also as durable and would appear, on calculation, to be cheaper when intravenous therapy lasts longer than a day. OpSite is therefore recommended as the intravenous dressing of choice. Its use, or that of a similar sterile disposable product, should be considered mandatory for paediatric and other patients in whom sterility is vital, and in situations where intravenous infusion will continue for more than 24 hours.
将一种无菌、一次性使用的聚氨酯静脉导管敷料（优赛贴；施乐辉公司）与传统敷料在便利性和成本方面进行了比较。尽管使用经验不足，但事实证明，使用优赛贴与传统的非无菌对照方法一样简便且易于接受。优赛贴同样耐用，经计算，当静脉治疗持续时间超过一天时，其成本似乎更低。因此，推荐将优赛贴作为静脉敷料的首选。对于儿科患者以及其他无菌至关重要的患者，以及静脉输液将持续超过24小时的情况，应考虑强制使用优赛贴或类似的无菌一次性产品。
