Tegaderm Film Dressings, 2.37 inch x 2.75 inch, 100/box #1624W
Tegaderm Film is a transparent medical dressing primarily used to protect skin wounds, abrasions, and IV catheter sites. It helps maintain a moist wound environment, which can promote faster healing and prevent infection. The film acts as a barrier against external contaminants such as bacteria and viruses while allowing moisture vapor to escape, ensuring the skin remains dry. Its transparency enables constant monitoring of the wound without the need to remove the dressing. Ideal for fragile skin, Tegaderm Film provides a comfortable, secure, and breathable covering that conforms easily to the body.

Mechanism of Action:
Tegaderm Film Dressings act as a protective barrier, securing a sterile environment that promotes optimal wound healing. The breathable film allows for moisture vapor exchange while maintaining a moist healing environment that facilitates natural autolytic debridement. The impermeability to liquids, bacteria, and viruses protects the wound from external contamination, thereby minimizing infection risks.
Side Effects:
- Mild skin irritation or adhesive-related discomfort in some users.
- Rare allergic reactions due to material sensitivity.
Warnings:
- Do not use on clinical infection, deep puncture wounds, or infected wounds without consulting a healthcare professional.
- If redness, swelling, or increased irritation occurs, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
- Ensure the underlying skin is clean and dry before application to prevent poor adhesion.
- Do not use if the individual package is damaged, as this could affect sterility.
