This composite dressing is a sterile, waterproof bacterial barrier which consists of a non-adherent absorbent pad bonded to a larger thin film transparent dressing. It helps prevent external bacteria from entering the wound site. Tegaderm +Pad transparent dressings feature the unique "picture frame" delivery system designed to make it quick and easy to achieve a precise, secure placement every time, which reduces application time. The 3M conformable dressing is easy to apply and stretches with the skin to promote longer wear time. Ideally suited for:
Post-surgical dressing to protect clean, closed wounds
Fragile, at-risk skin
Light-to-moderately draining wounds
Superficial and partial-thickness wounds
Acute wounds such as cuts, burns, and abrasions
To secure or cover devices
Chronic wounds
I.V. catheter sites (peripheral and central lines)
As a secondary dressing over hydrogels, alginates, and gauze
