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. The tegaderm film is a breathable film that allows the skin to function normally with a good exchange of moisture vapor and oxygen while providing a waterproof, bacterial and viral barrier. The 3M™ Tegaderm™ Dressing is a sterile, waterproof, viral and bacterial barrier that 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).
Key Features:
- A waterproof and absorbent, allowing patients to bathe or shower without removing the dressing
- All-in-one sterile dressing, reduces application time
- The bacterial and viral barrier helps prevent external bacteria and contaminants from entering the site
- Breathable film allows the skin to function normally with a good exchange of moisture vapor and oxygen
- The conformable dressing is easy to apply and stretches with the skin to promote longer wear time
- Non-adherent absorbent pad rapidly wicks exudate
- The non-adherent pad won`t stick to the wound, allowing normal wound-healing processes to occur with less pain and trauma
