3M Tegaderm 1626w Transparent Dressing 25 Pack

The Perfect Transdermal Patch Cover

How to tell the difference between Tegaderm 1626 center adhesive and center non adhesive window. This is confusing as they both share the q626 product number. 20 years ago I found the foolproof method that has never failed. Look at the drawing/picture of the patch. One shows a clear plain window. This has the non adhesive center for cover IV ports etc. The 1626 that shows paper being peeled off the center window area has the adhesive center for a waterproof covering of morphine or other transdermal patches that have stopped sticking for the 3 to 10 day period. I also found the best way to get an air tight adhesion is to:
1. Clean your skin with alchohol.
2. Allow it to dry without touching the skin.
3. Apply your medication patch and use a dry flat surface (Tegaderm box works great) to apply even pressure you will avoid bubbles and wrinkles.
4. Apply the Tegaderm patch over your med patch, or IV port. Use something such as box again to apply even pressure for 1 or 2 minutes.
5. Carefully remove the paper backing. I slip my finger between the tape and paper as soon as I have enough room to press down tape and lift paper backing simultaneously and avoid tears.
If you follow these simple steps it will improve your patch cover and avoid the need to reapply tape prior to needing a new patch or portal.Vollständige Rezension lesen

These dressings limit scar formation and support skin regrowth

These dressings can stop or minimize scar tissue forming on wounds, and support regrowth of skin. I wish I had had them several years ago overseas. If you plan to travel in countries with healthcare-of-poor-repute, take some of these with you as they probaby will be hard or impossible to find. If you get in an accident, they can save you from big ol' scars. Happy to have these now for my first aid kit!Vollständige Rezension lesen

Tegaderm is well worth the cost and takes care of my needs.

The tegaderm always adheres well after adding your own bandage. Keeps the wound closed off from dirt and moisture. You can take a shower and not worry and walk outside just fine. Really necessary if you need to keep an area clean.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Protective Dressing

I love Tegaderm. I used it for burns on my back. My back is very sensitive due to the burns.
Regular bandaids just rip my skin off, but these didn’t.
I’ve also used them on my aging parent for skin tears.
I highly recommend this product!Vollständige Rezension lesen

Works great for sensitive skin

My wife has very dry sensitive skin that tape and sometimes even bandaids leave bruises or marks on her skin. We use this with gauze on her "boo boos", which she gets a LOT of being on blood thinners, and they leave no marks!Vollständige Rezension lesen

Perfect for putting on gauze for cuts and wounds…waterproof.

I used this at the hospital where I worked. As a retired senior now I used for cuts with gauze under it…..it helps cuts or surgery from getting wet.

Trouble maintaining adhesive

I use this to hold a patch of medicine on my skin. However, they are supposed to stay stuck and prevent water from seeping in, and they do not do that. They should stay put until the patient removes it. Usually I need to remove the tegaderm from the patch it is supposed to be protecting and put a new one on after every shower or an intense workout where perspiration was extreme.

These are the best products though that I can find for this purpose. There are bioclusive dressings that are better but hard to find and extremely expensive. Vollständige Rezension lesen

Good quality.

With my spouse and her temporary Nephrostomy it's the best specially the size.
