3M Tegaderm Foam, High-performance, non-adhesive foam dressing
To meet the requirements of weakly to heavily exuding wounds

3M Tegaderm Foam, a high-performance, non-adherent foam dressing, is a non-adherent wound dressing suitable for use as a primary or secondary dressing on low- to high-exuding deep and superficial wounds, as well as under compression. The multi-layered construction of the foam dressing ensures efficient exudate management. Its high absorbency and breathability reduce the risk of maceration. 3M's innovative multi-layer technology absorbs moisture and allows it to evaporate, thus ensuring an optimal wound healing environment.

The 3M Tegaderm Foam, a high-performance, non-adherent foam dressing, features a unique multi-layered structure that adapts to varying exudate levels to maintain an optimal environment throughout the healing process. This non-adherent dressing is easily removed. It can be used as a primary dressing for low- to high-exuding, deep and superficial wounds, including pressure ulcers, lower extremity ulcers, skin lacerations, donor sites, surgical wounds, abrasions, superficial burns, and second-degree burns. It is suitable for use around drains and in compression therapy.

Characteristics:

• Balances fluctuating amounts of exudate to maintain moisture levels for an optimal wound environment.
• Unique multi-layered construction ensures high absorbency and breathability to reduce the risk of maceration.
• Prevents the wound bed from drying out when there is a small amount of exudate.
• The bandage is soft and adaptable for higher patient satisfaction.
• The bandage can be used in conjunction with compression therapy.

The multi-layered structure of 3M Tegaderm Foam, a high-performance, non-adhesive foam dressing, combines absorbency with breathability, thus reducing the risk of maceration:

1. Highly breathable film: protects the wound from becoming saturated and adapts to changing amounts of exudate to maintain the moisture balance for an optimally moist wound environment.
2. Moisture control layer: facilitates the evaporation of moisture from the wound through the highly breathable, self-adhesive film layer.
3. Superabsorbent layer: absorbs moisture and keeps it away from the wound, thus minimizing the backflow of exudate.
4. Soft, absorbent foam layer: transports moisture away from the skin into the second layer and swells only minimally, which reduces the risk of disrupting tissue regeneration.
