Product Description
3M Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing Original Frame Style - 4" x 4-3/4" 3M Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing is a transparent film dressing used to cover and secure I.V. sites to protect at-risk skin, or as a primary or secondary dressing over acute wounds, surgical sites, and chronic wounds. Available in a variety of sizes and shapes. Tegaderm Film has a "frame" and "first aid" delivery system that makes placement quick and easy. Breathable film provides a bacterial and viral barrier to outside contaminants. 3M offers two, unique, different transparent adhesive dressing systems (standard and HP), giving the clinician a choice for patients with sensitive skin or a need for increased holding power in the presence of moisture. Laboratory testing has proven Tegaderm and Tegaderm HP dressings provide a viral barrier (HIV-1 and HBV) while the dressings remain intact without leakage. Product Benefits: Versatility allows you to use one product for many applications. Breathable film allows moisture vapor and oxygen exchange. For I.V. sites, water vapor and oxygen are easily exchanged to permit normal functioning of the skin. Provides a moist environment for enhanced wound healing, as viscous wound exudate is more slowly evaporated through the breathable film. Unique, thin film conforms to the body and flexes with the skin for greater patient comfort. Sterile, waterproof dressing provides a bacterial and viral barrier to outside contaminants and allows the patient to shower. The dressings are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to address both wound and I.V. applications. Frame delivery system allow maximum versatility as it can be applied quickly and easily. The hydrophilic nature of Tegaderm Film adhesive makes it adherent and useful in sensitive skin situations. Transparent dressings allow easy monitoring of wounds without the need to remove dressing. Product Applications: To cover and protect I.V. catheter sites and secure devices to the skin: Peripheral and

Great for Insulin Pumps
By Staci
We use this product over an Omnipod Insulin Pump (the pod part on the body) and it works like magic! It stays on our 3 days and helps keep the insertion site from getting snagged on clothing, it helps it feel more "secure" and helps with keeping things waterproof. We love these & the added sense of security is worth the money. This is the CHEAPEST we have found them & we searched LONG and hard! Great item. We like this better than Smith & Nephew's IV3000 (although that's a close 2nd).

By L. DEPSKY
my sister had surgery 2 months ago. she is alergic to adhesives and medical tapes. she can only use tegaderm dressings. unfortunately her wound is not healing and she needs to have her dressing changed 3 times a day. the dressings are $15 for 4 dressings in stores. thankfully i found these on amazon, 50 pcs for under $40.

By G Edward B
...between the sometimes slightly more and sometimes immensely more expensive 3M-1626 pictured here and the 3M-1626W dressings? The descriptions appear to be the same, but I have yet to find anyone comparing the two for differences in quality that would justify the range of expense. I've never had the 1626W in hand to see if it is good enough to hold on medicinal patches as well as the 1626. A RAPID response would be greatly appreciated. The only problem I have with the 1626 is the expense. I hadn't noticed the 1626W until today and my supply is running out. I would love to know what the difference is today, if possible, since I would like to purchase an order tonite.THANKS IF ANYONE CAN HELP!
