Tegaderm™ Transparent Film Dressings can be used to protect I.V. catheter sites and wounds, to secure devices to the skin and to maintain a moist environment for wound healing. They are breathable, waterproof and act as a barrier to protect against external contaminants including bacteria, viruses, blood and bodily fluids. Being transparent gives continuous visibility of the wound, allowing the clinician to monitor healing and recovery without having to replace the dressing after. The adhesive used is gentle on skin and the dressing flexes naturally with the skin to enhance patient comfort.
