Transparent film dressings used to cover and secure I.V. sites to protect at-risk skin, or as a primary or secondary dressing over acute wounds, surgical sites, and chronic wounds. Available in a variety of sizes and shapes.

    Tegaderm™ Film has a "frame" and “first aid” delivery system that makes placement quick and easy. Breathable film provides a bacterial and viral barrier{1} to outside contaminants. 3M offers two, unique, different transparent adhesive dressing systems (standard and HP), giving the clinician a choice for patients with sensitive skin or a need for increased holding power in the presence of moisture.

Benefits

Versatility allows you to use one product for many applications. Breathable film allows moisture vapor and oxygen exchange. For I.V. sites, water vapor and oxygen are easily exchanged to permit normal functioning of the skin. Provides a moist environment for enhanced wound healing, as viscous wound exudate is more slowly evaporated through the breathable film. Unique, thin film conforms to the body and flexes with the skin for greater patient comfort. Sterile, waterproof dressing provides a bacterial and viral barrier{1} to outside contaminants and allows the patient to shower. The dressings are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to address both wound and I.V. applications. Tegaderm™ Roll has a preferred delivery system that allows it to be applied with gloved hands. Tegaderm™ Roll provides all the benefits of surgical tape, while providing a waterproof, bacterial, viral {1} barrier. 1614 and 1616 dressings offer borders reinforced with a soft cloth fabric, designed to reduce edge lift and increase patient comfort. The hydrophilic nature of Tegaderm™ HP (holding power) Film adhesive makes it more adherent and useful in moist conditions. 1620 and 1621 first aid style dressings offer reinforced edges, built-in labels and a centering line for easy placement. {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.
