Tegaderm™ Transparent Film Dressing (1 3/4" x 1 3/4") is a sterile, latex-free film dressing with a thin backing and hypoallergenic adhesive. Compact and breathable, it is waterproof and impermeable to liquids, bacteria, and viruses 27 nm or larger while the dressing remains intact, making it well-suited for small wound and skin coverage.
Key Benefits
- Compact, Breathable Coverage: Allows oxygen and moisture vapor exchange in a small-format dressing.
- Liquid and Microbial Barrier: Impermeable to liquids, bacteria, and viruses 27 nm in diameter or larger while intact.
- Latex-Free Adhesive: Non-latex, hypoallergenic adhesive reduces risk of skin sensitivity.
- Sterile, Single-Use: Sterilized using irradiation; not intended for reuse.
Application and Use
Indicated to cover and protect small wounds and catheter sites, maintain a moist wound healing environment, facilitate autolytic debridement, serve as a secondary dressing, protect at-risk skin, secure small devices to the skin, cover first- and second-degree burns, and act as a protective eye covering. Not a substitute for sutures or other primary wound closure.
Stop any bleeding at the site before application. Clean and fully dry the skin before applying, and avoid stretching the dressing to prevent skin trauma.

The 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" size is ideal for small wounds, abrasions, or device sites where a compact, low-profile dressing is preferred, and the 50/Box count supports routine clinical use.
