Tegaderm film is a breathable film that allows skin to function normally with good exchange of moisture vapour and oxygen while providing a waterproof, bacterial and viral barrier. The 3M™ Tegaderm™ Dressing is a sterile, waterproof, viral and bacterial barrier which consists of a non-adherent absorbent pad bonded to a larger thin film transparent dressing (In vitro testing shows that the transparent film provides a viral barrier from virus 27 nm in diameter or larger while the dressing remains intact without leakage).
