3M Tegaderm High Integrity Alginate Dressing 4" x 8" - Box of 5

🔷 Product Overview

The 3M™ Tegaderm™ High Integrity Alginate Dressing 4" x 8" is a highly absorbent alginate wound dressing designed for the management of moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Made from soft alginate fibers, this sterile primary dressing absorbs wound fluid and transforms into a soft gel that helps maintain a moist wound healing environment while supporting the body's natural healing process.

Unlike traditional alginate dressings that may lose integrity when saturated, the High Integrity design helps the dressing maintain its structure during wear. This allows for cleaner, more complete removal with less risk of leaving dressing fragments in the wound bed.

The dressing also supports autolytic debridement by helping create an optimal moist wound environment and may assist with the management of minor bleeding. Soft and conformable, it adapts comfortably to wound contours and is suitable for a variety of chronic and acute wound types. An appropriate secondary dressing is required to secure the dressing and maintain moisture balance.
