The hydrophilic nature of 3M™ Tegaderm™ HP Transparent Film Dressing adhesive makes it more adherent and useful in moist conditions and difficult-to-dress areas. This sterile, breathable and waterproof dressing provides a barrier to outside contaminants and allows the patient to shower.
• Transparent dressings allow easy monitoring of wounds without the need to remove the dressing
• Picture-frame delivery makes placement accurate and easy, minimizing potential to stick to gloves or to itself
• Dressing flexes with skin for greater patient comfort
• Provides a waterproof, sterile barrier to external contaminants including liquids, bacteria and viruses
3M™ Tegaderm™ HP Transparent Film Dressing can be used to cover and protect catheter sites and wounds, to maintain a moist environment for wound healing or to facilitate autolytic debridement, as a secondary dressing, as a protective cover over at-risk skin, to secure devices to the skin, to cover first- and second-degree burns and as a protective eye covering. Do not use the dressing as a replacement for sutures and other primary wound closure methods.
