3M Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing - 8" x 12"

3M Tegaderm Transparent Film Wound Dressing is a transparent film dressing primarily designed for protecting skin and wound sites. It can also be used to cover and secure I.V. sites or used as a secondary dressing over acute wounds, surgical sites, and chronic wounds. Frame style allows customization of shape and size to fit any site.

Tegaderm Film has a "frame" and "first aid" delivery system that makes placement quick and easy. This Waterproof yet Breathable film dressing provides a bacterial and viral barrier to outside contaminants and allows the patient to shower.

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.

Laboratory testing has proven Tegaderm and Tegaderm HP dressings provide a viral barrier (HIV-1 and HBV) while the dressings remain intact without leakage.

Product Benefits:
