The non-sterile roll version of 3M™ Tegaderm™ Transparent Film Dressing offers a versatile solution for securing medical devices and primary dressings while providing a waterproof barrier against external contaminants such as liquids, bacteria, and viruses. In vitro testing demonstrates that the transparent film serves as an effective viral barrier, blocking viruses as small as 27 nm in diameter, provided the dressing remains intact without leakage. This customizable dressing can be cut to any desired length and shape, ensuring a perfect fit for various applications. Designed to flex with the skin, it enhances patient comfort while maintaining secure adhesion without causing irritation.

This transparent film dressing is ideal for holding primary wound dressings or non-sterile medical devices securely in place. It can also be used as a secondary dressing over alginates, hydrogels, or gauze, offering an alternative to non-sterile tape. The gentle adhesive is suitable for protecting intact skin during procedures like negative pressure wound therapy and can also serve as a protective covering for eyelids or temporary skin markings used in radiation therapy. Additionally, it is an excellent option for post-tattoo care, providing a protective barrier during both the application and removal phases.
