Features and Benefits of 3M 1655 Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing with Border
- Stabilises the catheter, minimising catheter movement
- Waterproof, sterile barrier protects the I.V. site from external contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, blood and body fluids in vitro testing shows that the transparent film provides a viral barrier from viruses 27 nm in diameter or larger while the dressing remains intact without leakage
- Transparency allows monitoring of I.V. sites without the need to remove the dressing
- Breathable film lets oxygen in and moisture vapour out
- Picture-frame delivery makes placement accurate and easy, minimising potential to stick to gloves or to itself
- Framed style allows one-handed application and less waste. Non-adhesive handles allow for hassle-free application
- Waterproof dressing provides a breathable bacterial and viral barrier to outside contaminants and allows the patient to shower
- Up to 7-day wear time
- Notched designs provide a better seal around the catheter
3M 1655 Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing with Border Easy to apply
- Open package and remove sterile dressing. Peel the liner from the dressing, exposing the adhesive surface. The tape strips will remain attached to this piece.
- Position the transparent portion of the dressing so that it is centred over the insertion site, while holding the notched portion off the skin.
- Position the dressing so the notch fits snugly around the catheter port and under the hub. The notched portion of the dressing will help to secure the catheter. Overlap the tabs under the catheter to form a tight seal. Gently press dressing into place.
- Slowly remove the frame while smoothing down the dressing edges, moving from the centre outwards. Use firm pressure to enhance adhesion.
- Sterile tape strips can be used over the catheter wings or hub to enhance catheter stability, or to secure IV tubing or stabilise catheter lumens.
- Easy to remove. Firstly remove tape strips. Separate cloth tabs and avoid skin trauma by gently peeling the dressing back on itself whilst supporting the skin, rather than pulling it up from the skin. A medical adhesive solvent can also be used if required.
