3M Tegaderm +Pad Film Dressing with Non-Adherent Pad #3591
3M™ Tegaderm™ +Pad Film Dressing, 3591, 3-1/2 in x 10 in (9 cm x 25 cm), 25 Each/Carton, 4 Carton/Case
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. Tegaderm film is a breathable film that allows skin to function normally with good exchange of moisture vapour and oxygen while providing a waterproof, bacterial and viral barrier. The 3M™ Tegaderm™ Dressing is a sterile, waterproof, viral and bacterial barrier which 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).
Suggested Applications
- Post-surgical dressings - especially on areas where swelling or movement is expected
- Superficial and partial-thickness wounds
- Lacerations, abrasions and burns
- I.V. catheter sites
- Light to moderately draining wounds
- Fragile skin
- As a secondary dressing over hydrogels, alginates, gauze, or other primary dressings
- Chronic wounds
- A waterproof and absorbent, allowing patients to bathe or shower without removing dressing
- All-in-one sterile dressing, reduces application time
- Bacterial and viral barrier helps prevent external bacteria and contaminants from entering the site
- Breathable film allows skin to function normally with good exchange of moisture vapour and oxygen
- Conformable dressing is easy to apply, and stretches with the skin to promote longer wear time
- Non-adherent absorbent pad rapidly wicks exudate
- Non-adherent pad won`t stick to the wound, allowing normal wound healing processes to occur with less pain and trauma
