3M™ Tegaderm™ Foam Adhesive Dressing mini wrap is constructed of a conformable, absorbent, polyurethane foam pad with a highly breathable, non-waterproof film backing reinforced with soft cloth tape, making it a perfect choice for toes, feet, noses, elbows, and chins. The unique single-spoke design allows for one-handed application for difficult-to-dress wounds. The border tabs are perforated Tegaderm film reinforced with soft cloth tape to allow high exchange of both moisture and oxygen.
3M™ Tegaderm™ Foam Adhesive Dressing is indicated for pressure, arterial, neuropathic (diabetic) and venous leg ulcers, including use under compression wraps, difficult body contours; toes, heel, and elbow, as well as skin tears, abrasions, skin grafts, and donor sites.
Cleanse wound and surrounding skin according to facility policy. If periwound skin is fragile or exposure to wound exudate is likely, apply a barrier film. Allow the barrier film to dry before dressing application.
Hold the dressing by the side tab and remove the printed liner, exposing the adhesive border.
Grasp the paper tab on the top of the dressing and position the dressing over the wound.
Gently press the adhesive border tabs to the skin, overlapping the tabs to conform to contours. Avoid stretching the adhesive tabs or skin during application.
Remove the paper tab.
Firmly press and conform the adhesive border to the skin.
Dressing change frequency will depend on the type of wound, volume of exudate, and clinical situation. Change at least every 7 days, or as indicated per treatment protocol.
