Tegaderm +Pad Film Dressing With Non-Adherent Pad
An all-in-one dressing combining a non-adherent pad with a thin transparent film, providing a sterile, waterproof, viral and bacterial barrier over wounds. It is a standard item in dental and medical practice.
The Tegaderm +Pad Film Dressing With Non-Adherent Pad is an all-in-one wound dressing that bonds a non-adherent absorbent pad to a thin, transparent film backing, combining wound contact comfort with the barrier properties of a film dressing in a single product. The non-adherent pad sits directly against the wound, reducing the risk of the dressing sticking to the wound bed and causing trauma or pain when it is changed, while the surrounding transparent film provides a sterile, waterproof seal along with a barrier against bacteria and viruses, according to the manufacturer.
This combination makes the dressing suitable for a range of minor wounds, incisions and skin lesions where some absorption is needed alongside a secure, visible covering. Because the film extends beyond the pad, clinicians can also see the surrounding skin for signs of irritation without disturbing the pad itself.
This dressing is used by nurses and clinicians in hospital, clinic and home care settings for general wound and minor incision care where a combined pad and film product is appropriate.
