Details
Highlights
- Advanced adhesive allows for “lift and check” interval monitoring
- Innovative spoke delivery system enables accurate, easy application with gloved hands for a more positive clinician experience
- Unique multi-layer design absorbs and evaporates moisture while adapting to changing levels of exudate to maintain an optimal wound healing environment
- Dressing is soft and conformable with a thin, low-profile edge to help minimise the rolling and lifting that can impact adhesion and wear time
- Adhesive film backing acts as a protective barrier to outside contamination, including bacteria and viruses* *In vitro testing shows that the transparent film provides a viral barrier from viruses 27 nm in diameter or larger while the dressing remains intact without leakage
- Dressing is waterproof, so it may be worn during showering

3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Border Dressing
Easy to apply. Easy to check.
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.

-
Thin, low-profile edge.
The conformable, thin, low-profile border helps minimise the rolling and lifting that can impact adhesion and wear time.*

Advanced 3M silicone adhesive.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.
See our Performance Summary for more information.
-
Absorbent multi-layer design.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.
-
With a unique multi-layer design at your fingertips, the 3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Border Dressing allows you to create a more positive clinician and patient experience.
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.
Suggested applications
- Wound management
- Pressure ulcer/injury prevention
- Tube/device cushioning or under compression
