Full Surround Protection, Fewer Barriers to Healing 

In the fight against surgical site infections (SSIs), anything less than an all-in-one wound care solution is all but ineffectual. Unlike traditional sponge gauze and tape dressings, Tegaderm™ +Pad Dressings are proven to provide a viral* and bacterial barrier, helping to reduce the risk of infection.


It is waterproof yet breathable, absorbent yet non-adherent, and is easily applied. Better yet, it’s from 3M — a company you know has it covered when it comes to quality. So you can go about the business of healing with confidence.

* In vitro testing shows that the transparent film dressing provides a viral barrier from viruses 27 nm in diameter or larger while the dressing remains intact without leakage.

Improved Infection Control

Tegaderm™ +Pad Dressings create a transparent, sterile, barrier that is impervious to liquids, bacteria, and viruses,* providing an effective barrier to external contaminants. The adhesive is gentle to the skin, yet has good adherence.




Simple Cost Control

Tegaderm™ +Pad Dressings decrease the amount of nursing time spent on dressing application and changes.6 Less frequent dressing changes save time, supply costs and reduce the potential for site contamination.

Covering your Surgical Site Infections (SSI) Prevention Needs

Protecting your patients and organization from surgical site infections (SSIs) never comes down to just one thing. It’s recommended to use a sterile dressing to help reduce the risk of infection. So we engineered 3M™ Tegaderm™ +Pad Film Dressing with Non-Adherent Pad to include three advanced performance features.



(1) Clear Difference:

Unlike gauze dressings, Tegaderm™ +Pad Dressings offer a transparent, waterproof film that serves as a barrier. Tegaderm™ +Pad Dressings are breathable, letting oxygen in and moisture vapor out, allowing the skin to function normally. 
                                                                                     

                                                                           

                              

                                                    (2) Dual Purpose Barrier:

Testing has demonstrated that Tegaderm™ +Pad Dressings provide a bacterial barrier, even against some of the most common organisms associated with SSI: Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.* Tegaderm™ +Pad Dressings also provide a viral barrier against HIV-1 and HBV and other potentially infectious body fluids while the dressings remain intact without leakage.**








(3) Hassle-Free Design:


Latex-free, hassle-free design is both patient and clinician-friendly. The pressure-sensitive adhesive film conforms naturally, holds strongly and releases gently — ensuring skin integrity. Plus, the non-adherent pad will not adhere to the wound bed, reducing pain upon removal. And a wide variety of standard sizes and shapes ensure timely, accurate placement.
