Waterproof, sterile barrier: protects the I.V. site or wound from external contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, blood and body fluids – in vitro testing shows that the transparent film provides a viral barrier from viruses 27 nm in diameter or larger while the dressing remains intact without leakage

Breathable film lets oxygen in and moisture vapour out

Picture-frame delivery makes placement accurate and easy, minimising potential to stick to gloves or to itself

The 3M™ Tegaderm™ Transparent Film Dressing 1624W (6x7 cm) is a sterile, waterproof film dressing designed to provide a protective barrier while allowing continuous monitoring of the wound or IV site. Its breathable film lets oxygen in and moisture vapor out, while effectively blocking water, bacteria, and viruses.

This dressing is flexible, conformable, and easy to apply, adhering securely to the skin while remaining gentle during removal. It is commonly used for covering and protecting catheter sites, IV sites, post-surgical incisions, superficial wounds, and as a secondary dressing.

Packaged with 100 dressings per box and 4 boxes per case, the 3M™ Tegaderm™ 1624W is a reliable, cost-effective solution for hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities.

3M™ Tegaderm™ Transparent Film Dressing Frame Style is a sterile, vapour permeable transparent film dressing.

3M™ Tegaderm™ Transparent Film Dressings can be used to cover and protect catheter sites and wounds, to maintain a moist environment for wound healing, and to secure devices to the skin.

Suggested applications

• Catheter sites and wounds
• Primarily closed clean surgical wounds
• Skin graft donor sites
• First and second degree burns
• Minor abrasion and superficial decubitus ulcer
• To facilitate autolytic debridement through a moist wound healing environment
• May be used as a protective eye covering, e.g. to keep eyes closed during surgery, for patients with a corneal abrasion. Helps maintain eye moisture
