Tegaderm HP Transparent Film Dressing Features

Special Adhesive and Film:

Holds securely even in the presence of moderate amounts of moisture. Tegaderm H.P. Film has a different adhesive that provides greater holding power in moist conditions, such as:

  • Conditions of high humidity 
  • Diaphoretic patients 
  • Lightly draining wounds Sacral wound and skin protection

Sacral Shape:

Protective dressing for patients at risk for skin breakdown in the sacral area. Tegaderm H.P. Film adhesive on sacral dressing has hydrophilic nature. It makes the dressing more adherent in moist conditions.

Versatile:

Tegaderm H.P. can be used to protect I.V. sites, enhance wound healing, prevent skin breakdown, and protect clean, closed surgical incisions. Tegaderm dressings are available in many sizes, shapes, and application styles to meet various needs. The frame allows the dressings to be tailored for special applications when desired. Application systems of most other transparent dressings do not qualify for this customization.

Easy to Apply:

The application of Tegaderm H.P. is intuitive and quick, making it easy to remember and easy to teach. It is especially convenient for patient self-care. Tegaderm dressing minimizes application time and saves dressing waste and costs. The frame delivery system provides maximum control of the thin film for rapid application of even the largest dressings. The unique “picture-frame” allows precise and secure placement of the dressing every time. If the adhesive surface accidentally touches itself, the dressing can be separated and applied, eliminating wasted dressings.

Gentle Adhesive:

Tegaderm dressings are made with a hypoallergenic, latex-free adhesive that is gentle to the skin yet securely holds catheters and other devices in place. The Tegaderm dressing provides good initial adhesion without building to excessive levels over time. Even for dressings left in place for extended periods, the risk of patient discomfort and skin trauma is minimal when the dressing is properly removed. 

Breathable:

The breathability of Tegaderm H.P. allows moisture vapor and gas exchange, which is essential to maintain normal skin function under the dressing. Patients can wear Tegaderm bandages for extended periods, with minimal risk of skin irritation or maceration, and without excessive proliferation of skin flora.

Enhanced Wound Healing:

Tegaderm H.P. seals in natural wound fluid to maintain a moist environment, which has been shown to enhance the healing process. It prevents scab formation and dehydration of the wound bed, occurring with conventional dry dressings. The Tegaderm dressing provides a wound environment that allows epithelial cells to migrate easily across the wound surface, reducing pain caused by wound dehydration and increasing patient comfort.

Conformable:

3M Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing conforms to body contours, stretches easily, and prevents stress on the skin when the patient moves. It protects skin and bony prominences from abrasion and allows the patient to move easily. Tegaderm H.P. is comfortable to wear and presents a flat profile.

How to use Tegaderm Transparent Dressing?

  1. Select a dressing size that will adequately cover the catheter and insertion site or wound. Ensure at least a one-inch margin of dressing adheres to healthy, dry skin.
  2. Prepare the catheter insertion site or wound according to the approved protocol.
  3. To ensure good adhesion, clip excess hair where the dressing will be placed. Do not shave the skin because of the potential for micro-abrasions.
  4. Make sure skin is free of soaps, detergents, and lotions. Allow all preps and protectants to dry thoroughly before applying the dressing. Wet preps and soap residues can irritate if trapped under the bandage. Additionally, adhesive products do not adhere well to damp or oily surfaces.
  5. Do not stretch the Tegaderm dressing during application. Applying an adhesive product with tension can produce mechanical trauma to the skin. Stretching can also cause adhesion failure.
  6. The adhesive of Tegaderm dressing is pressure-sensitive. To ensure the best adhesion, always apply firm pressure to the dressing from the center to the edges.
  7. To tailor a dressing for a special application, use sterile scissors to cut the dressing into desired shapes or sizes before removing the printed liner. For best results and ease of application, cut the pieces to keep a portion of the frame on at least two sides.

Removal Instructions:

Support the skin when removing Tegaderm dressing. For removal from I.V. sites, also stabilize the catheter to prevent dislodgment. Use one of the following removal techniques based on the skin conditions of the patient and your personal preference:

  • Gently grasp one edge and slowly peel the dressing from the skin in the direction of hair growth. Try to peel the dressing back over itself rather than pulling it up from the skin.
  • Grasp one edge of the dressing and gently pull it straight out to stretch and release adhesion.
  • Apply an adhesive remover suitable for use on the skin to the adhesive edge while gently peeling from the skin.

To aid in lifting a dressing edge, secure a piece of surgical tape to one corner and rub firmly. Use the tape as a tab to help you slowly peel back the dressing.

Precautions:

  • Stop any bleeding at the site before applying the dressing.
  • Do not stretch the dressing during application as tension can cause skin trauma.
  • Ensure the skin is clean, free of soap residue and lotion, and allowed to dry thoroughly before applying the dressing to prevent skin irritation and ensure good adhesion.
  • Antimicrobial ointments containing polyethylene glycols may compromise the strength of the Tegaderm H.P. Transparent Film Dressings.
  • The dressing may be used on an infected site only when under the care of a health care professional.
  • Tegaderm Transparent Dressings should not be re-sterilized by gamma, E-beam, or steam methods.
