The 3M Tegaderm +Pad Film Dressing is a composite, sterile dressing that combines a transparent film with a non- adherent absorbent pad. This all- in- one design provides advanced protection and comfort for various wounds.
Advanced Protection Features:
Sterile Barrier: The dressing creates an effective bacterial and viral barrier (impenetrable to liquids, bacteria, and viruses) while remaining intact.
100% Waterproof: Allows to bathe, shower, and engage in water activities without removing the dressing or compromising the wound site.
Breathable Film: The transparent film allows for the exchange of moisture vapor and oxygen, supporting normal skin function and enhancing the healing environment.
Comfort & Ease of Use:
Non- Adherent Pad: The central pad absorbs exudate (fluid) but will not stick to the wound bed, minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes.
Flexible & Conformable: The thin, stretchy film conforms comfortably to body contours and flexes with movement, promoting longer wear time (up to 7 days).
Easy Application: Features a paper frame and non- latex, hypoallergenic adhesive for simple, precise placement.
Transparent Film: Allows healthcare professionals to monitor the wound site directly without needing to remove the dressing.
Suggested Applications:
Post- operative surgical wounds.
Acute wounds (cuts, lacerations, abrasions).
Superficial and partial- thickness burns.
Light- to- moderately draining chronic wounds (e. g., pressure ulcers).
I. V. catheter sites.
. Suitable for professional use.
