EXPIRED! 3M Tegaderm Film Sterile 4"x4.75" Transparent Film Dressing 1626W ***Lot Of 5***.

These dressings are expired so using them to cover a CVL is NOT recommended. However they may still be used for standard wound care and teaching purposes.

Tegaderm has so many uses beyond wound care. Some things I’ve used it for include:

-covering a new tattoo

-repairing a pool float

-repair my iPhone charger?!

But it’s main uses are wound care, first aid, and covering central lines. Here is some additional information from the manufacturers website.

-Tegaderm provides a waterproof, sterile barrier to external contaminants including liquids, bacteria and viruses.

-Transparent dressing allows for continuous visibility to the I.V. insertion site.

-Adhesive is gentle on skin.

-Dressing flexes with skin for greater patient comfort.

-Picture-frame delivery makes accurate placement easy.
