- Transparent dressing allows for continuous visibility to the I.V. insertion site.
- Radiologically transparent. Tegaderm products can be safely left on patient’s skin during radiotherapy treatments.
- Breathable film lets oxygen in and moisture vapour out.
- Dressing flexes with skin for greater patient comfort
- Picture-frame delivery makes placement accurate and easy, minimising potential to stick to gloves or to itself.
- May be worn up to 7 days.
