3M Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing 1624WIN
3M Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing 1624WIN is a sterile, transparent film dressing designed for appropriate wound coverage, catheter-site protection and medical-device securement.
The frame-style dressing measures 6 cm × 7 cm and uses a thin, semi-permeable transparent film that allows visibility of the covered area. This makes it possible for healthcare professionals to monitor a wound or catheter site without routinely removing the dressing. 3M states that Tegaderm transparent film dressings can be used to cover and protect catheter sites and wounds and to secure devices to the skin.
The dressing provides a waterproof, sterile barrier to external contaminants, while its breathable film allows moisture-vapour exchange. The hypoallergenic adhesive is designed to be gentle to skin while helping hold catheters and other devices in place.
