3M Tegaderm 1626W Transparent Film Dressing 10cm x 12cm Sterile Waterproof Dressing Pack of 50
The 3M Tegaderm 1626W Transparent Film Dressing (10cm x 12cm, Pack of 50) is a sterile, waterproof and breathable polyurethane film dressing designed to protect wounds, IV insertion sites and catheter sites. Its transparent construction allows healthcare professionals to monitor the covered area without routinely removing the dressing.
The flexible film conforms to the skin, providing a comfortable fit while helping protect the application site against external contaminants, including bacteria, viruses, blood and body fluids. Its breathable, moisture-vapour-permeable design allows moisture vapour to escape while maintaining a protective barrier.
Featuring a convenient picture-frame delivery system, Tegaderm 1626W makes accurate application easier and helps prevent the dressing from sticking to itself or gloves during placement.
Suitable for hospitals, clinics, and home-care environments, this versatile transparent dressing can be used for IV and catheter fixation, minor wound protection, surgical incisions, and reducing skin damage caused by friction.
