Highlights
- Strong and gentle silicone adhesive keeps the dressing in place with minimal disruption to the skin during removal
- Unique multi-layer design absorbs and evaporates moisture while adapting to changing levels of exudate to maintain an optimal wound healing environment
- Fluid management properties of the dressing prevent pooling, which helps minimise backward fluid migration and helps reduce the potential for skin maceration
- Gentle on fragile skin and does not cause damage to the wound, periwound or surrounding skin

3M’s most advanced silicone foam dressing, the 3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam 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 injury(1) programs.
3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Dressing
The 3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Dressing is gentle even on fragile skin and does not cause damage to the wound, periwound or surrounding skin.
This non-bordered dressing can be used with compression therapy and is designed to manage varying levels of exudate, from low to high, and is indicated for use on pressure ulcers/injuries(1), venous leg ulcers, neuropathic ulcers, arterial ulcers, skin tears and surgical wounds.

Advanced 3M silicone adhesive.A unique, proprietary 3M adhesive allows for “lift and check” monitoring of wounds without loss of adhesive properties. The non-bordered dressing can be lifted and repositioned.
-
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.
See our Performance Summary for more information.

1. Tegaderm™ film backing by 3M: combines 3M’s adhesive innovation and film expertise in a breathable dressing cover.
2. Moisture control layer: helps maintain an optimal moisture balance by facilitating evaporation through the film backing.
3. Superabsorbent layer: further pulls moisture away and locks it in place to help minimise backward migration that can cause periwound maceration.
4. Fenestrated foam layer: improves flexibility and moisture absorption to help minimise healing disruption.
5. 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
- Venous Leg Ulcer
- Tube/device cushioning or under compression
