SorbaView IV Securement Dressings

SorbaView dressings by Medline hold vascular access catheters in place while keeping the insertion site visible and protected — a combination that matters when you're managing peripheral IVs, midlines, or arterial lines. The one-piece design integrates the transparent film and the fabric border into a single application, so nurses secure the catheter and cover the site in one motion instead of layering tape over a separate dressing. Fewer components mean fewer failure points and a lower risk of catheter migration between dressing changes.

Visibility is the practical draw here. The clear window over the insertion site lets clinicians inspect for redness, swelling, or infiltration without lifting the dressing — supporting routine site assessment and helping catch complications early. The breathable film also allows moisture vapor to pass through, which reduces the skin maceration that leads to premature dressing lifting.

Choosing between the versions comes down to line type and coverage. The standard SorbaView Integrated Securement Dressing (SV233UDT) at 2-5/8 x 3-9/16 inches suits routine peripheral IV sites. The SorbaView SHIELD (SV37UDT), 3.75 x 6.25 inches, offers a larger footprint and added securement for lines that need more anchoring. The SorbaView Shield Window Dressing (SV353UDT) uses a paper-bordered design with a securing method at a medium 3-1/2 x 5-5/16 inch size — a good fit where a softer, more conformable border is preferred. All are sterile and packaged for single use.

These dressings pair naturally with catheter stabilization and site-prep supplies. Explore related options across our IV Supplies and broader Wound Care collections to build a complete vascular access setup.
