3M™ Tegaderm™ Absorbent Clear Acrylic Dressing features a unique clear acrylic polymer and allows for monitoring of the wound, wound exudate and peri-wound skin without having to remove the dressing. It is ideal for low to moderately exudating wounds including skin tears, pressure ulcers, abrasions, post-operative wounds and donor sites. It can also be used for clean, closed approximated surgical incisions or laparoscopic incisions.

3M™ Tegaderm™ Absorbent Clear Acrylic Dressing can also be used as a secondary (cover) dressing over wound fillers such as alginate dressings, as well as a protective dressing on at risk, undamaged skin or skin beginning to show signs of damage from friction or shear. The washable, absorbent acrylic dressing, small oval, is 3 inch x 3 3/4 inch (7.6cm x 9.5cm). The pad size is 1 1/2 inch x 2 1/4 inch (3.8cm x 5.7cm).
