Tegaderm Film Dressing
Tegaderm Film Dressings are transparent, waterproof dressings designed to keep numbing creams like Emla in contact with the skin and also protect wounds and catheter sites while allowing moisture vapour to escape. These sterile, breathable film dressings are easy to apply and ensure a secure fit for effective protection against external contaminants, helping to prevent infection and speed up the healing process.
Tegaderm Film Dressings are made from a thin, flexible polyurethane film that conforms comfortably to the skin. The adhesive is hypoallergenic and gentle, reducing the risk of irritation.
