How to apply 3M Tegaderm Dressing?

• Instructions for use (Dressing selection)
  Choose a dressing size large enough to provide a margin that adheres to dry healthy skin around the catheter or wound site.
• Site preparation
  1. Prepare the site according to institution protocol.
  2. Clipping of hair at the site may improve adhesion. Shaving is not recommended.
  3. Allow all prep liquids to completely dry before applying the dressing to prevent skin irritation and ensure good adhesion.
• Application
  1. Open package and remove sterile dressing.
  2. Peel the paper liner from the paper-framed dressing, exposing the adhesive surface.
  3. Position the framed window over the wound site or catheter insertion site and apply dressing.
  4. Press the dressing into place.
  5. Remove the paper frame from the dressing while smoothing down the dressing edges. Seal securely around catheter or wound site. Firmly smooth adhesive border to the skin.
• Site Care
  1. The site should be observed for signs of infection or other complications. If infection is suspected, remove the dressing, inspect the site directly, and determine appropriate medical intervention. Infection may be signaled by fever, pain, redness, swelling, or an unusual odor or discharge.
  2. Change the dressing according to institution protocol, or when the barrier properties have been compromised. Removal: Gently grasp an edge and slowly peel the dressing from the skin in the direction of hair growth. Avoid skin trauma by peeling the dressing back, rather than pulling it up from the skin.
• Precautions
  • Stop any bleeding at the site before applying the dressing
  • Do not stretch the dressing during application as tension can cause skin trauma
  • Make sure the skin is dry and free of soap residue and lotion to prevent skin irritation and to ensure good adhesion
  • The dressing may be used on an infected site only when under the care of a health care professional
• Warnings
  • Do not use the dressing as a replacement for sutures and other primary wound closure methods

   I love the 3M Tegaderm Pad Film Dressing with Non-Adherent Pad. I have a wound on my shoulder and I need to cover it with a waterproof bandage. The 3M Tegaderm Pad is perfect for this. I also like the non-sticky pad.
