3M Tegaderm HP Transparent Film Dressing 8526IN
3M Tegaderm HP Transparent Film Dressing 8526IN is a sterile, transparent film dressing designed to cover and protect appropriate wounds, catheter sites and medical devices.
The dressing measures 10 cm × 12 cm and uses a thin, conformable transparent film with a hypoallergenic adhesive. It provides a waterproof barrier when properly applied while allowing visibility of the covered area. The film is designed to flex with skin movement and permits moisture-vapour and oxygen exchange.
Unlike the Tegaderm HP + Pad range, 8526IN is a film-only dressing and does not contain an absorbent wound pad.
