Laboratory testing has proven 3M™ Tegaderm™ and Tegaderm™ HP Transparent Dressings provide a viral (HIV-1 and HBV) barrier while dressings remain intact without leakage

• Advanced Securement – a force-shifting notch, highly breathable film, stabilisation strips and innovative border design secure and protect the catheter site.
• Comfort adhesive technology – two high-performing adhesives secure and stabilise, manage moisture, improve wear time and provide gentle release.
• Excellent moisture handling – working with the breakthrough adhesive formula, the highly breathable film furnishes excellent moisture handling in warm environments and for diaphoretic patients.
• Improved patient care – the overall design is engineered to offer a low-profile stabilisation system that provides patient comfort and reduces both dressing manipulation and catheter restarts.
• Sterile, waterproof, breathable film that is impermeable to liquids, bacteria and viruses*
• Framed delivery system allows for one handed application and prevents dressing sticking to itself
• Date labels to assist clinicians with documentation of date of insertion
• Larger sized dressings (1688 & 1689) are suitable to cover sutureless securement devices
