Description
3M Tegaderm Hydrocolloid Dressing 14 cm × 17 cm - Box of 3
A long-wear, water-resistant hydrocolloid that bonds even to moist skin, keeps exudate under control, and seals out contaminants for up to 7 days of continuous protection
What sets it apart
| Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Rapid-absorb hydrocolloid core | Draws in low-to-moderate exudate without breaking down or leaving residue, supporting autolytic debridement and extending wear time |
| 3M™ Tegaderm™ film border | Waterproof, virus- and bacteria-proof barrier lets patients shower while preventing strike-through or edge lift—no extra taping needed |
| Moist-healing environment | Breathable outer film maintains a high MVTR, balancing moisture and minimising maceration for faster epithelialisation |
| Conformable, low-friction surface | Smooth outer layer reduces shear on heels, elbows and sacral areas; oval film border flexes with movement for secure comfort |
| Up to 7-day wear time | Proven durability reduces nursing time and supply costs by limiting unnecessary dressing changes |
* In-vitro tests show the film blocks viruses ≥ 27 nm while the dressing remains intact and without leakage
