3M Tegaderm IV Transparent Film Dressing 1635IN

3M Tegaderm IV Transparent Film Dressing 1635IN is a sterile transparent film dressing designed for IV catheter and vascular access site securement.

The dressing measures 8.5 cm × 10.5 cm and features a transparent film with an adhesive border and securement components designed to help stabilize the catheter and maintain visibility of the insertion site. 3M documentation identifies 1635 as a Tegaderm IV Transparent Film Dressing with Border.

Its transparent construction allows healthcare professionals to observe the insertion site without routinely removing the dressing, while the waterproof film provides a barrier against external contaminants when the dressing remains intact. 3M also describes Tegaderm IV dressings as breathable and designed for securement applications.
