Description
Nexcare Tegaderm Waterproof Transparent Wound Dressing represents 3M's advanced wound care technology, providing superior protection while allowing continuous wound monitoring. These innovative transparent dressings create a waterproof barrier that protects wounds from external contaminants while maintaining optimal moisture balance for healing. The breathable film allows oxygen and moisture vapor transmission while preventing bacteria and water penetration. Each dressing features gentle, hypoallergenic adhesive that secures firmly to skin without causing trauma during removal. The crystal-clear transparency enables healthcare providers and patients to monitor wound progress without removing the dressing, reducing infection risk and promoting undisturbed healing. These dressings are ideal for post-surgical sites, IV insertion points, minor cuts, abrasions, and chronic wounds. The waterproof design allows patients to shower and bathe normally while maintaining wound protection. 3M's proven medical adhesive technology ensures reliable adhesion for up to 7 days. Each box contains 8 individually packaged sterile dressings, providing convenient supply for ongoing wound care management.
Suggested Use
Clean and dry wound area completely. Remove dressing from package and peel away paper backing. Center dressing over wound with 1-inch border on all sides. Apply from center outward, smoothing to eliminate air bubbles. Press edges firmly for secure adhesion. Leave in place for up to 7 days unless drainage accumulates or dressing loosens. Remove slowly at low angle to minimize discomfort.
