Details

• A waterproof and absorbent, allowing patients to bathe or shower without removing dressing
• All-in-one sterile dressing, reduces application time
• Bacterial and viral barrier helps prevent external bacteria and contaminants from entering the site
• Breathable film allows skin to function normally with good exchange of moisture vapour and oxygen
• Conformable dressing is easy to apply, and stretches with the skin to promote longer wear time
• Non-adherent absorbent pad rapidly wicks exudate
• Non-adherent pad won`t stick to the wound, allowing normal wound healing processes to occur with less pain and trauma

The 3M™ Tegaderm™ + Pad Film Dressing with Non-Adherent Pad combines a transparent film with an absorbent pad, providing a moist wound environment to help enhance healing and lessen pain. This dressing has a “frame delivery” system to ensure quick and easy application. 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).
