3M offers a full line of dressings which provide easy selection of size, shape and function. Dressing choices include absorbent acrylic, alginate, burn sheeting, composite, hydrocolloid,
hydrogel, foam, transparent film and wound contact material.
Enables clinicians to monitor pressure ulcers, skin tears and other moderately exuding wounds without changing the dressing.
3M™ Tegaderm™ Absorbent Clear Acrylic Dressing has advanced 3M technology where wound exudate moves through perforations in the bottom layer of Tegaderm™ Transparent Film, which is coated with a
moist-skin adhesive. Through the process of diffusion, wound exudate is absorbed into the patented, clear, acrylic polymer pad. Moisture vapor is released through the top, breathable, waterproof
layer of Tegaderm™ Film, which also provides a barrier to outside contaminants. Easy to center on the wound and apply. Gentle removal from the skin. Promotes autolytic debridement while allowing
visualization. Barrier to outside contaminants such as fluid, bacteria and viruses.{1} Low potential for skin maceration. Thin profile, conformable. Low friction surface. Washable. Hypoallergenic and
latex-free.
{1} - Laboratory testing has proven Tegaderm dressings provide a viral barrier (HIV-1 and HBV) while the dressings remain intact without leakage.

3M™ Tegaderm™ High Integrity and High Gelling Alginate Dressings

Click to Enlarge |
Sterile, highly conformable, and absorbent primary wound care dressings for use on moderately to heavily exudating wounds. Tegaderm™ Alginate Dressings are available in a variety of sizes.
Tegaderm™ Alginate Dressings are sterile, highly conformable, and absorbent primary wound dressings for use on moderately to heavily exudating wounds.
Tegaderm™ High Integrity Alginate Dressing is designed to maintain high integrity of the saturated dressing. Tegaderm™ High Integrity Alginate Dressing is easily removed from most wounds in one piece
with minimal gel residue.
Tegaderm™ High Gelling Alginate Dressing becomes an amorphous gel-like mass when saturated. The saturated dressing may be gently irrigated from the wound bed at dressing change.
Tegaderm™ Alginate Dressings provide clinicians with a choice of products to meet their needs for exudating wounds. Both alginate dressings become a gel-like consistency as they absorb exudate which
provides a moist wound healing environment with easy removal. These dressings are ideally suited for the management of moderately to heavily exudating partial and full thickness wounds. Both styles
are compatible with the 3M family of secondary dressings.
