The Tegaderm transparent film dressing is a sterile, transparent film dressing that is used to cover and secure I.V. sites in order to protect at-risk skin. It can also be used as a primary or secondary dressing for acute wounds, surgical sites, and chronic wounds. This all-in-one dressing is breathable, yet waterproof, and provides a bacterial and viral barrier.

The waterproof nature of the dressing allows patients to shower without compromising the integrity of the dressing.
