3M Tegaderm Diamond Pattern Film Dressing with Comfort Adhesive Technology

Increased Breathability for Secure Hold

3M Tegaderm Diamond Pattern Film Dressing consists of a thin film backing with a non-latex, hypoallergenic adhesive. The dressing is breathable, allowing good oxygen and moisture vapor exchange. It is waterproof and impermeable to liquids, bacteria and viruses*. An intact dressing protects the site from outside contamination.

  • * In vitro testing shows that the film of Tegaderm Diamond Pattern Film Dressings provides a viral barrier from viruses 27 nm in diameter or larger while the
    dressing remains intact without leakage.
3M Tegaderm Diamond Pattern Film Dressings provide effective moisture management, firm hold, and gentle release for the protection and securement challenges posed by I.V. sites and minor wounds. In a recent study, 75 percent of clinicians who were using Smith & Nephew IV3000 Dressing said that they would switch to 3M Tegaderm Diamond Pattern Film Dressing.*
