Tegaderm™ Transparent Film Dressing (4" x 4 3/4") is a sterile, latex-free film dressing featuring a thin, breathable backing and a hypoallergenic adhesive. Waterproof and impermeable to liquids, bacteria, and viruses 27 nm or larger while intact, it provides a reliable barrier for wound and catheter site protection.
Key Benefits
- Breathable Protection: Allows oxygen and moisture vapor exchange while remaining impermeable to liquids, bacteria, and viruses 27 nm in diameter or larger.
- Waterproof Barrier: An intact dressing protects the site from outside contamination.
- Latex-Free Adhesive: Non-latex, hypoallergenic adhesive reduces risk of sensitivity reactions.
- Sterile and Single-Use: Each dressing is sterilized using irradiation and intended for single use only.
Application and Use
Indicated for use on catheter sites and wounds, to maintain a moist wound healing environment, 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. Not intended as a replacement for sutures or other primary wound closure methods.
Prior to application: stop any bleeding at the site, ensure skin is clean, free of soap residue and lotion, and fully dry. Do not stretch the dressing during application, as tension can cause skin trauma.
Why Choose Tegaderm™ Transparent Film Dressing?
The 4" x 4 3/4" size offers generous coverage for larger wound sites or at-risk skin areas, while the transparent film allows visual monitoring of the site without removing the dressing.
