ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--3M Skin and Wound Care introduces 3M™ Tegaderm™ Diamond Pattern Film Dressing, a versatile dressing solution with transparent, breathable film, preferred frame delivery system and new, Comfort Adhesive Technology. The new dressing offers all the popular features of Tegaderm™ Transparent Film Dressings while adding innovative adhesive technology to increase moisture management performance which could lead to less frequent dressing changes, and may provide a cost savings option for health care facilities. Tegaderm™ Diamond Dressings will be available in the Unites States as well as selected international markets later this month.
“With over 25 years on the market, Tegaderm™ Brand Dressings are the standard for IV site care and the world leader in transparent film dressings.

According to Matt Fryxell, 3M new products marketer, “The Tegaderm™ Diamond Dressing is an ideal solution for many patients, including those who may become unexpectedly diaphoretic. Additionally, the highly breathable dressing is engineered with pressure-sensitive adhesive to conform to the skin’s irregular surface for a long, comfortable wear, even when environmental conditions have historically posed challenges for optimal dressing performance.”
