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

- Transparent dressing allows for continuous visibility to the I.V. insertion site
- Dressing flexes with skin for greater patient comfort
- May be worn up to 7 days
- Radiologically transparent. Tegaderm products can be safely left on patient’s skin during radiotherapy treatments. Dressing does not act as bolus material, with or without 3M™ Cavilon™ No Sting Barrier Film (CNSBF)
- Can be used to maintain a moist wound environment to facilitate autolytic debridement
- Helps to prevent skin breakdown caused by friction
3M™ Tegaderm™ Transparent Film Dressing Frame Style is a sterile, vapour permeable transparent film dressing.

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
