3M’s most advanced silicone foam dressing, the 3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Border Dressing, takes on your toughest challenges impacting adhesion and wear time. It is suitable for use on fragile skin and with compression therapy, making it an appropriate choice for your wound management and pressure/ulcer injury1 prevention programs.
3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Border Dressing
The 3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Border Dressing stays in place with minimal lifting and rolling. It is an appropriate choice for your wound management and pressure injury prevention programs. Tegaderm Silicone Foam dressing adhesive is gentle even on fragile skin and does not cause damage to the wound, periwound or surrounding skin.
It can be used with compression therapy and is designed to manage varying levels of exudate, from low to high, such as pressure ulcers/injuries(1), venous leg ulcers, neuropathic ulcers, arterial ulcers, skin tears and surgical wounds.
A spoke delivery system enables easy application in challenging locations like the sacrum. Misapplications can result in costly unplanned dressing changes.
The conformable, thin, low-profile border helps minimise the rolling and lifting that can impact adhesion and wear time.*

A unique, proprietary 3M adhesive allows for “lift and check” monitoring of wounds without loss of adhesive properties. You can lift the dressing and reposition it multiple times.

Our innovative layer technology is designed to absorb and wick moisture away from the skin’s surface, helping to minimise the backward fluid migration that can cause maceration, disrupt healing and prompt additional dressing changes.
1. Patented spoke delivery system: enables easy application to challenging locations like the sacrum.
2. Tegaderm™ film backing by 3M: combines 3M’s adhesive innovation and film expertise in a breathable dressing cover.
3. Moisture control layer: helps maintain an optimal moisture balance by facilitating evaporation through the film backing.
4. Superabsorbent layer: further pulls moisture away and locks it in place to help minimise backward migration that can cause periwound maceration.
5. Fenestrated foam layer: improves flexibility and moisture absorption to help minimise healing disruption.
6. 3M’s proprietary silicone adhesive: keeps the dressing in place without damaging the wound area, while allowing exudate to pass through.
