The 3M 1620 Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing is a versatile product designed to protect IV sites, enhance wound healing, prevent skin breakdown, and protect clean, closed surgical incisions. This dressing consists of a thin film backing with a non-latex, hypoallergenic adhesive, ensuring a gentle application on the skin. It is breathable, allowing good oxygen and moisture vapor exchange, and is waterproof and impermeable to liquids, bacteria, and viruses, providing a sterile barrier to external contaminants.
This dressing is easy to apply thanks to its unique “picture-frame” delivery system, which allows for precise and secure placement every time. It is also flexible, conforming to body contours and stretching easily to prevent stress on the skin when the patient moves.
One of the key features of the Tegaderm dressing is its transparency, which allows for continuous visibility to the IV insertion site or wound, eliminating unnecessary dressing changes and saving nursing time. Additionally, it seals in natural wound fluid to maintain a moist environment, enhancing the healing process.
This product is available in a size of 2 3/8 x 2 3/4 inches and comes in a rectangle shape. Each case contains 100 dressings, packed in 10 boxes. The dressing is sterile and remains so as long as the outer package is intact.
