Tegaderm + Pad 3M is a sterile accessory that aims to isolate small wounds from the environment for proper healing. This product has an absorbent pad that does not stick to the affected skin.
Tegaderm + Pad is a product specially designed for the recovery of superficial or minor wounds. It is a pack of dressings measuring 5 cm x 7.2 cm. Its main purpose is to isolate wounds from the environment to protect them from possible pathogenic microorganisms or contaminants. This, so that healing is not interrupted or leads to a more serious complication.
Firstly, it has a sterile, absorbent pad, which has several benefits. Normally, wounds tend to leak some secretions that help protect and heal them. However, as the condition will be sealed, moisture is a factor that greatly hinders the ability to heal. As this product is absorbent, it will create an ideal environment for the condition to heal in a shorter time. On the other hand, the pack does not contain foreign agents that can react with the wound and infect it. This is because it is sterilised by irrigation.
Secondly, the adhesive has the ability to hold the dressing very well on any part of the body. It is designed with rounded edges, which makes it suitable for difficult areas or joints. In addition, it is flexible enough that it does not come loose easily with the movement of the wearer. The adhesive layer also insulates the pad from the surrounding environment.
Finally, this product is semi-permeable, which means that it is resistant to water and micro-organisms. However, it is breathable. The advantage in this case is that the covered skin can continue to perspire and carry out its functions normally.
It is indicated for superficial conditions such as cuts, burns, abrasions, incisions and minor ulcers. Latex free.
Before applying the dressing, the skin should be clean and disinfected. In addition, the area must be dry for the adhesive to work. The pad always goes on top of the condition. The skin must never come into contact with the adhesive. In case of long hairs in the area it is recommended to trim them a little bit more, not to shave them.
Do not use if allergic to any of the indicated ingredients.
Polyurethane, acrylic adhesive and polyethylene.
