Tegaderm is a transparent film dressing that is used to cover and protect catheter sites and wounds. It maintains a healing environment for the wound. The comfortable dressing flexes with skin to offer great patient comfort. The picture frame design enables one-handed application of the dressing. The dressing has a breathable, transparent film and allows the exchange of moisture and oxygen.
