Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing With Border

Transparent film dressings designed to secure the catheter in challenging I.V. applications. Many with notches and borders reinforced with a soft cloth fabric, designed to reduce edge lift and to seal around the insertion site. The adhesive is gentle on skin, dressing flexes with skin for greater patient comfort and the picture-frame delivery makes for accurate placement. Breathable film allows moisture vapor and oxygen exchange. Transparency allows monitoring of I.V. sites without the need to remove the dressing. They are waterproof and act as a barrier to protect against external contaminants including bacteria, viruses*, blood and bodily fluids.

Suggested Applications:
•To cover and protect I.V. catheter sites
•Acute and chronic wounds
•Skin protection
•Feeding tubes
•Superficial partial thickness burns
•Stage I or II pressure ulcers
•Autolytic debridement facilitated by the moist wound healing environment
•Protective eyelid coverings
•Post tattoo application and removal

* In vitro testing shows that the transparent film provides a viral barrier from viruses 27 nm in diameter or larger while the dressing remains intact without leakage.
