- Tegaderm Film consists of a thin film backing with a non-latex, hypoallergenic adhesive.
- The
dressing is breathable, allowing good oxygen and moisture vapor
exchange. It is waterproof and impermeable to liquids, bacteria, and
viruses. An intact dressing protects the site from outside
contamination.
- Tegaderm
Film can be used to cover and protect the wounds, skin breakdown and
closed surgical incisions and maintain a moist environment for wound
healing.
- Also,
this can be used to cover first and second-degree burns, and as a
protective eye covering. Frame style allows customization of shape and
size to fit any site. The unique sacral shape is designed for
challenging and difficult-to-dress areas.
- Tegaderm
Film, with the "frame" delivery system, allows maximum versatility as
it can be cut to any shape and size. Dressings conform to the body and
flex with skin for greater patient comfort.
Precautions
- Stop any bleeding at the site before applying the dressing.
- Do not stretch the dressing during application as tension can cause skin trauma.
- Make
sure the skin is clean, free of soap residue and lotion and allowed to
dry thoroughly before applying the dressing to prevent skin irritation
and to ensure good adhesion.
- Antimicrobial
ointments containing polyethylene glycols may compromise the strength
of the Tegaderm HP Transparent Film Dressings.
- Tegaderm Transparent Dressings should not be re-sterilized by gamma, E-beam or steam methods.
