DESCRIPTION
Tegaderm High Performance Foam Adhesive Dressing
3M Health Care is now Solventum. The same products you know and trust, now under a new brand.
The Tegaderm High Performance Foam Adhesive Dressing is a multi-layer foam dressing that can be used as a primary or secondary wound dressing for partial and full thickness dermal wounds with different levels of exudate, from low to high. The innovative layer technology absorbs and evaporates moisture to maintain an ideal moist wound environment. This adhesive foam dressing is available in a variety of sizes and shapes, including oval and fenestrated. Designed with patient comfort in mind, the dressing is soft and conformable.
A Unique Layer Design
A multi-layer design extends the dressing wear time by combining high absorbency with breathability to reduce the risk of maceration:
- Spoke delivery system: enables easy application, even with gloves on to difficult body contors, including heels and elbows without the need for cutting
- Highly breathable film: protects the wound from strikethrough and adapts to changing levels of exudate to maintain the moisture balance for an optimal moist wound environment.
- Moisture control layer: facilitates evaporation of moisture from the wound through the highly breathable adhesive film backing.
- Superabsorbent layer: absorbs and retains moisture away from the wound, minimizing backward moisture migration.
- Soft absorbent foam layer: wicks moisture away from the skin and into the secondary layers and has minimal swell, which decreases the potential for disruption of healing tissue.
- Adhesive film backing – acts as a protective barrier against external contamination including bacteria and viruses; low-profile and minimizes edge roll and lift
Benefits
- Provides autolytic debridement.
- Helps control minor bleeding.
- Dressing is waterproof so it may be worn during showering
- Soft and conformable for patient comfort
- Available in a variety of shapes and sizes
- Conform to the wound bed with soft, sterile construction.
- Transform into a gel to keep the wound bed moist.
- Allows for one-piece removal, streamlining dressing changes.
- Can be used in conjunction with wound fillers such as gauze or alginate dressings
Considerations
- Observe the dressing frequently. As the dressing absorbs, exudate will wick to the top of the dressing and discoloration may be noticeable. When the exudate spreads to the edges of the dressing or the dressing begins to leak, a dressing change is indicated.
- Dressing change frequency will depend on the type of wound, volume of exudate, and clinical situation. Change at least every seven days or as indicated per treatment protocol.
- You may cut the dressing as needed to fit the size of the wound or accommodate wound contours. Seal the cut edge with a transparent dressing to provide a waterproof barrier.
Uses
- Can be used as a primary or secondary dressing
- Can be used with compression therapy techniques with medical supervision
- Partial to full-thickness wounds
- Pressure and arterial ulcers

How to Use Tegaderm High Performance Foam Adhesive Dressing
- Cleanse the wound and periwound skin according to your institution’s protocol. Dry the area around the wound with dry gauze. Do not use oxidixing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or hypochlorite solution as they may affect the structure and performance of the dressing.
- Observe the wound for signs of infection. If infection occurs, see a healthcare professional. Tegaderm foam dressings may be used on infected wounds only under the care of a health care professional.
- Apply a barrier film to periwound skin that is fragile or exposure to wound exudate is likely. Let dry completely.
- Hold the dressing by one of the side tabs and remove the printed liner to expose the adhesive border. While holding the tabs, position the dressing over the wound and apply.
- Gently press the adhesive film border to the skin. Avoid stretching the dressing or the skin during application.
- Beginning at the center of the dresing, grasp one section of the paper carrier and pull towards the outer edge of the dressing while gently pressing down the film border. Repeat this for each of the remaining carrier sections until all paper carrier is removed.
Removal
- Gently lift the adhesive film border while pressing down on the skin.
- If there is difficulty lifting the film border, apply tape to the edge of the dressing and use the tape to lift.
This product is part of Solventum’s (Formerly 3M) comprehensive plan for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and venous leg ulcers (VLU). Maintaining an optimal wound environment is an essential element in treating these often-stubborn conditions. This is done primarily through exudate management, providing protection from outside contaminates, and enabling easy application and removal.
