The 3M 1610 Tegaderm I.V. Transparent Film Paediatric Dressing with Border is a versatile, all-in-one sterile dressing designed to provide a breathable, soft cloth tape backing with a unique non-adherent pad. It measures 5cm x 5.7cm and comes in a box of 100, with 4 boxes per case.
This dressing enhances patient comfort due to its soft, porous, and breathable nature. The unique, non-adherent pad will not stick to the wound, allowing for normal healing with less pain and trauma. It helps support healing by providing an absorbent pad that protects the wound and absorbs drainage, while allowing the exchange of moisture and oxygen. This helps reduce the risk of skin maceration.
The dressing provides excellent adhesion, yet is gentle to the skin. It contains no natural rubber latex, making it hypoallergenic. It is easy to apply as it conforms to body contours, and flexes with movement or swelling.
The dressing is also convenient for clinicians as it is an all-in-one dressing designed to reduce application time. It is available in a wide range of sizes for most common applications. The dressing is waterproof, providing a breathable bacterial and viral barrier to outside contaminants and allows the patient to shower. It can be worn for up to 7 days.
The dressing is ideal for use in various clinical areas including Cardiovascular, Critical Care, Dialysis Centre, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), I.V. Therapy, Intensive Care, Radiology, Surgery, and more. It is particularly useful for conditions related to Pressure Ulcer, Wound Care, and I.V. Related issues.
Please note that this product is not waterproof.
