Please note: All prices are for cases.

The Solventum Tegaderm™ Transparent Film Dressing with Border (SKU 1614) is a sterile, waterproof, and breathable dressing designed for the securement of catheters and the protection of minor wound sites. This 2 3/8 inch x 2 3/4 inch (6 cm x 7 cm) dressing features a central transparent film window reinforced by a soft cloth border. This combination provides the benefit of continuous site visibility while offering superior edge-lift resistance and adhesive strength compared to standard film-only dressings. It is specifically engineered to provide a barrier against external contaminants while maintaining a healthy skin environment through advanced moisture vapor exchange.

Key Features

• Reinforced Cloth Border: Features a non-woven soft cloth perimeter that increases the dressing's durability and provides extra securement, effectively preventing the "rolling" or peeling at the edges caused by patient movement or friction from bedding.
• Waterproof and Viral Barrier: The central film layer acts as a sterile barrier against external liquids and microorganisms, including viruses 27 nm in diameter or larger, while the dressing remains intact to prevent the entry of environmental pathogens.
• Continuous Site Observation: The high-clarity transparent window allows for the inspection of IV insertion sites or wound beds without the need for dressing removal, minimizing patient discomfort and reducing the risk of contamination.
• Optimized Breathability: The dressing utilizes specialized film technology that allows for the efficient escape of moisture vapor and the intake of oxygen, which helps prevent skin maceration and promotes a stable healing environment.
• Enhanced Stabilization: The integrated cloth border makes this dressing ideal for securing peripheral IV catheters and other medical devices that require a higher level of fixation and stability than a standard film dressing.
• Gentle Hypoallergenic Adhesive: Formulated with a medical-grade adhesive that is designed to be gentle on sensitive skin, reducing the risk of adhesive-related skin injuries (MARSI) during dressing changes.

Ideal Clinical Applications

• Peripheral IV Securement: The standard size for securing peripheral intravenous lines, providing the necessary stabilization and protection required for routine vascular access.
• Minor Surgical Incisions: Excellent for protecting clean, closed surgical sites or laparoscopic port entries where the reinforced border adds durability against the friction of clothing.
• Abrasions and Skin Tears: Provides a secure and breathable protective barrier for superficial traumatic injuries, shielding the area from external moisture and bacteria.
• Secondary Dressing Support: Highly effective for securing smaller primary fillers, such as alginates or medicated gauzes, that require a waterproof outer layer with extra edge-hold.
• Pediatric and Geriatric Care: The combination of small size and gentle adhesive makes it suitable for the fragile skin profiles of infants and elderly patients.

Important Safety Information

Drug Patch Contraindication: Do not use this dressing to cover medicated drug delivery patches (e.g., fentanyl or nicotine). The occlusive nature of the film can dangerously increase the rate of drug absorption, potentially leading to an overdose.

Skin Tension Warning: Do not stretch the dressing during application. Applying the film or border under tension can cause mechanical skin trauma and tension blisters.

Hemostasis Requirement: Active bleeding must be controlled and adequate hemostasis achieved at the site before applying the dressing to ensure a secure and long-lasting seal.
