Tegaderm High Performance Foam Adhesive Dressing

The Tegaderm High Performance Foam Adhesive Dressing is a multi-layer foam dressing that can be used as a primary or secondary wound dressing for partial and full thickness dermal wounds with different levels of exudate, from low to high. The innovative layer technology absorbs and evaporates moisture to maintain an ideal moist wound environment. This adhesive foam dressing is available in a variety of sizes and shapes, including oval and fenestrated. Designed with patient comfort in mind, the dressing is soft and conformable. 

A Unique Layer Design

A multi-layer design extends the dressing wear time by combining high absorbency with breathability to reduce the risk of maceration:

  1. Spoke delivery system: enables easy application, even with gloves on to difficult body contors, including heels and elbows without the need for cutting
  2. Highly breathable film: protects the wound from strikethrough and adapts to changing levels of exudate to maintain the moisture balance for an optimal moist wound environment.
  3. Moisture control layer: facilitates evaporation of moisture from the wound through the highly breathable adhesive film backing.
  4. Superabsorbent layer: absorbs and retains moisture away from the wound, minimizing backward moisture migration.
  5. Soft absorbent foam layer: wicks moisture away from the skin and into the secondary layers and has minimal swell, which decreases the potential for disruption of healing tissue.
  6. Adhesive film backing – acts as a protective barrier against external contamination including bacteria and viruses; low-profile and minimizes edge roll and lift
