3M™ Tegaderm™ Adhesive Foam Dressings manage low to high levels of exudate to maintain an optimal moisture balance, reducing the risk of peri-wound maceration and helping prevent wound desiccation or dressing adherence. The unique adhesive formulation adheres to both dry and moist conditions. The water-resistant seal allows for showering. The unique spoke delivery system allows for easy, accurate, and secure application.
Key Features:
- Stays in place – Ideal for situations where increased securement or longer wear time is needed. Provides a water resistant seal while dressing is intact.
- Easy to apply – Spoke delivery system allows easy, accurate, and secure application.
- Maintains moisture balance – Unique multi-layer design provides high absorbency and high breathability, to reduce the risk of maceration.
- Conformable – Soft and flexible foam conforms to body contours.
- Effectively seals the wound – Thin film backing prevents strikethrough and protects against external bacteria and viruses. **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.
- Won't stick to wounds - Minimizes disruption of healing tissue
