Benefits
The CDC/HICPAC Guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections base dressing change recommendations on studies with Tegaderm™ Film.
Notched designs provide a better seal around the catheter.
Sterile tape strips are provided on many dressings.
Breathable film allows moisture vapor and oxygen exchange.
Transparency allows monitoring of I.V. sites without the need to remove the dressing.
Picture-frame style allows one-handed application and less waste. Unique, non-adhesive handles allow for hassle-free application (1655 & 1650 designs).
Waterproof dressing provides a breathable bacterial and viral barrier{1} to outside contaminants and allows the patient to shower.
For pediatric I.V.s, the 1610 dressing, with colorful bears, provides an ideal solution.

Tegaderm™ Plus (9524 & 9526 designs) dressings contain iodophor impregnated adhesive.
