3M™ Tegaderm™ Transparent Film Dressing 1626W (10×12 cm)

Highlights

Waterproof, sterile barrier: protects the I.V. site or wound from external contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, blood and body fluids – in vitro testing shows that the transparent film provides a viral barrier from viruses 27 nm in diameter or larger while the dressing remains intact without leakage

Breathable film lets oxygen in and moisture vapour out

Picture-frame delivery makes placement accurate and easy, minimising potential to stick to gloves or to itself

Transparent dressing allows for continuous visibility to the I.V. insertion site

Dressing flexes with skin for greater patient comfort

May be worn up to 7 days
