- Provides a waterproof, sterile barrier to external contaminants including liquids, bacteria and viruses
- Easy to apply and remove
- Picture-frame delivery makes placement accurate and easy, minimizing potential to stick to gloves or to itself
- Stays on skin for long periods of time without skin irritation or maceration
- Stretch and release removal prevents skin irritation
3M™ Tegaderm™ Transparent Film Dressings are transparent I.V. dressings which offer site protection and are more adherent in moist conditions than standard transparent dressings
Transparent film dressings designed for protecting skin and wound sites. Frame style allows customization of shape and size to fit any site. Unique sacral shape is designed for challenging and difficult-to-dress areas. Waterproof dressing provides a bacterial and viral barrier{1} to outside contaminants and allows the patient to shower. Breathable film allows moisture vapour and oxygen exchange while providing a moist wound environment for enhanced healing. {1} - Laboratory testing has proven Tegaderm™ and Tegaderm™ HP dressings provide a viral barrier (HIV-1 and HBV) while the dressings remain intact without leakage.
