Tegaderm Alginate Dressings by 3M

Tegaderm Alginate Dressings are sterile, highly conformable and absorbent primary wound care dressings. Tegaderm Alginate is for use on moderately to heavily exudating wounds. Tegaderm Alginate Dressings are available in two sizes and in two dressing options as depicted below:

1. Tegaderm HIGH INTEGRITY Alginate Dressing is designed to maintain high integrity of the saturated dressing. Tegaderm™ High Integrity Alginate Dressing is easily removed from most wounds in one piece with minimal gel residue.
