3M™ Tegaderm™ HP+Pad Film Dressing with Non-Adherent Pad 8582 (5cm x 7 cm), 50 Per Box, 6 Boxes Per Case

The 3M™ Tegaderm™ +Pad Film Dressing is a sterile surgical dressing with a central absorbent and non-adherent pad that helps in moist wound healing and painless dressing removal. This Tegaderm dressing is breathable, waterproof, bacterial and viral barrier thus protecting against infections and is easy to maintain.

 

• Bacterial and Viral barrier to prevent surgical site infections
• Waterproof barrier which allows patients to bathe or shower without removing dressing
• Unique, absorbent, non-adherent pad won`t stick to the wound, allowing moist wound healing with less pain and trauma
• Breathable film allows skin to function normally with good exchange of moisture vapor and oxygen
• Hypo-allergenic and latex-free sterile design for safe usage
• High-quality pressure-sensitive adhesive for gentle yet firm bonding
• Conformable to adjust to natural shape of skin
• Ideal for covering post-surgical and draining wounds, abrasions, lacerations, devices and use as secondary dressing over alginates and hydrogels and more

antiseptic dressing. a fabric, gauze, or pad treated with anantiseptic, a germicidal, or a bacteriostatic solution and applied to a wound or an incision to prevent or treat infection.

• The unique REACTIC film used to make IV3000 has a patented molecular structure which is significantly more permeable to water vapour than ordinary films. This prevents the accumulation of moisture underneath the dressing, reducing bacterial growth and the risk of catheter-related infection.
• IV3000 offers a moisture vapour transmission rate over FIVE TIMES that of its nearest competitor, helping to keep moisture levels under the dressing to a minimum^4–7
• Semi-permeable film dressings stop most bacteria getting into the IV sites but they also trap moisture, making it easier for the bacteria that do get in to reproduce.

 

A secure barrier to infection:

• IV3000's breathability reduces pooling of moisture, helping the dressing to stay in place without lifting1
• IV3000 dressings form a protective barrier around the IV to help prevent bacterial and viral infection9,1

Protection from the costs of IV-site infection:

• High moisture vapour transmission rate to keep the IV site drier than any other dressing4–7
• Meets and exceeds criteria for an ideal IV site dressing
• Reduces the costs associated with IV care

For you:

• Ward educational packages and animated tools to make application training straight forward
• Support from clinical specialists to answer complex questions on IV site care
• Visual infusion phlebitis scoring tools to help you spot inflamed blood vessels before they become a problem

For them:

• IV3000 dressings are waterproof so patients needn’t remove them every time they want a shower5
• Our low allergy, non-irritating adhesive is easy to remove, allowing greater patient comfort16,17
• Long-lasting dressings mean fewer uncomfortable dressing changes18
• An IV-site dressing that protects your budget too
• Catheter-related bloodstream infections cost around £6000 per infection to treat.13
• Reducing bacterial propagation near the IV site is one way of reducing this risk.8 Another way is to limit exposure of the IV site to the surrounding environment.
• IV3000 dressings can be kept in place for up to seven days, meaning fewer dressing changes and less chance of bacterial infection19

This also:

• creates less need for dressing changes, reducing nursing time
• minimises potential for catheter dislodgement, which can help avoid the extra expense of recannulating a patient
