3M Tegaderm Pediatric Advanced Securement I.V. Dressing (400/Case)

The 3M Tegaderm Pediatric Advanced Securement I.V. Dressing is engineered to provide superior catheter securement compared to standard transparent dressings, maximizing hold and minimizing the risk of dislodgement.

This enhanced stability is achieved through several specialized features:

• Comprehensive Stabilization: The securement system utilizes a reinforced border, a specific deep notch, and integrated tape strips that work together to stabilize the entire dressing and the catheter site.
• Extended Wear: The highly breathable transparent film rapidly releases moisture. This feature supports strong, long-lasting adhesion, often allowing the dressing to be worn for the entire life of a Peripheral Intravenous (PIV) catheter.
• Flexibility and Integrity: The dressing is designed to flex with patient movement, ensuring dynamic stability and actively preventing edge lift, which is critical for active pediatric patients.
• Pediatric Skin Protection: A gentle yet reliable adhesive is formulated specifically to protect the sensitive skin of pediatric patients while ensuring reliable, long-term securement.

Yes, the 3M Tegaderm Pediatric dressing is specifically engineered for use on sensitive pediatric skin. The adhesive is formulated to be gentle yet secure, providing:

• Protection for delicate skin.
• Minimized trauma during both application and removal.
• Secure fixation without compromising the child’s comfort.

Yes, the 3M Tegaderm Pediatric Advanced Securement I.V. Dressing is available in two specific sizes to best suit the needs of pediatric patients:

Yes, this specialized I.V. dressing is engineered for extended wear time and may be worn for the entire life of a Peripheral Intravenous (PIV) catheter.

This longevity is achieved through several key design features:

• Advanced Securement: The dressing features a reinforced border, a deep notch, and integrated tape strips that work together to prevent edge lift and maintain securement throughout patient movement.
• Optimal Moisture Management: A highly breathable transparent film quickly releases moisture vapor, which helps maintain the integrity of the adhesive and skin underneath.
• Pediatric Skin Consideration: The adhesive is gentle yet secure, providing reliable fixation while ensuring protection for sensitive pediatric skin during wear and removal.

Yes, this dressing is specifically engineered with flex-technology that allows the film to move and stretch in harmony with the patient’s skin. This ensures:

• Reduced Tension: It minimizes stress on the insertion site during natural body movements.
• Increased Comfort: The flexible material prevents the dressing from pulling at the skin, making it ideal for active children.
• Maintained Integrity: Even with movement, the advanced adhesive and reinforced border work together to keep the catheter securely in place.

Yes, the 3M Tegaderm Pediatric Advanced Securement I.V. Dressing utilizes a highly breathable transparent film.

This engineering design is crucial for managing moisture effectively and contributes significantly to the product’s performance:

• The film is engineered to quickly release moisture, promoting a healthier skin environment for delicate pediatric skin.
• This superior moisture management allows for extended wear time, potentially lasting for the entire life of a Peripheral Intravenous (PIV) catheter.

Yes, this dressing utilizes a picture-frame delivery system specifically engineered to simplify the application process.This system is beneficial because it:

• Minimizes the risk of the dressing adhering prematurely to the healthcare provider’s gloves.
• Helps prevent the dressing from folding back and sticking to itself during placement.

This ensures a smoother, more secure application, which is crucial for advanced securement.
