Not all silicone foam dressings are created equal. Where others may fall short and fall off, 3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Dressings deliver, providing impressive adhesion that’s strong yet gentle.
-
3M invented gentle-to-skin medical adhesives more than 50 years ago, and we continue to innovate solutions that provide consistent adhesion with easy removal to help minimize the risk of Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injury (MARSI). Because wound care starts with skin care.
-
Significantly longer wear time¹ plus gentle adhesion3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Dressings offer significantly longer wear time than the leading competitive silicone foam dressing¹ while being gentle to the skin. Which may help save your facility time and money on unscheduled dressing changes.
-
Thin, low-profile edge3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Dressings are highly conformable and feature a thin, low-profile edge, helping to minimize the rolling and lifting that can impact adhesion and wear time.
-
Unique multi-layer design3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Dressings have a unique multi-layer design that absorbs and evaporates moisture, helping to reduce the potential for skin maceration.
-
Easy application3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Dressings feature a patented spoke delivery system that enables easy application in challenging locations like the sacrum, for a more positive clinician experience.
