What is it?
Tegaderm Absorbent Clear Acrylic Dressing is an absorbent dressing that offers a clear view of the wound or surgical incision. Offers a waterproof, transparent barrier allowing active monitoring and early interventions without disturbing the wound or incision.
How does it work?
Its acrylic polymer pad is breathable and designed to absorb low to moderate exudate to promote an optimal healing environment. The extended wear time gives patients extended protection beyond their initial hospital stay and into their home. Plus, it acts as a barrier to external contaminants, body fluids, bacteria and viruses.
