The Medical Action 68849 IV Starter Kit is engineered for clinical efficiency and infection control during intravenous access procedures. By providing a pre‑assembled, sterile package with all the essentials (antiseptic applicator, dressing, gauze, tape, tourniquet, and label), clinicians can reduce the time spent gathering individual items and minimize the chance of missing something. The inclusion of a transparent, notched Tegaderm dressing allows visualization of the catheter insertion site while maintaining a protective barrier against contamination.

Each kit’s 1.5 mL FREPP applicator enables antiseptic skin preparation right in the sterile field, helping reduce infection risk before catheter insertion. The pair of 2″ × 2″, 4‑ply gauze sponges serve to absorb any bleeding or to pad around the catheter hub before applying the dressing. The 18″ Transpore tape roll gives flexibility in securing not only the dressing but also any additional tubing or extensions, while the tourniquet is conveniently included so you don’t have to retrieve one from elsewhere.

In practice, this kit helps streamline the IV setup process in high‑throughput settings like inpatient wards, emergency departments, or field care. The consistent packaging means all team members know exactly what to expect inside each kit, which supports faster, safer care. Furthermore, the IV change label encourages proper documentation of insertion times or dressing changes, which is critical to maintaining compliance and patient safety. Overall, the 68849 kit strikes a balance between completeness, sterility, and usability for routine IV access workflows.
