When should Tegaderm Roll Film Adhésif Transparent 3M 10cmx2m be used to protect and secure a medical device?
Do you need to hold a compress, catheter or dressing in place without compromising skin comfort? Tegaderm Roll Film Adhésif Transparent 3M 10cmx2m has been designed to do just that. This transparent, non-sterile film acts like a second skin: it secures medical devices while giving you visual control over the protected area.
Its particularity lies in a subtle balance. It forms an impermeable barrier to water, bacteria and viruses, much like an invisible raincoat on the skin. At the same time, it remains permeable to oxygen and water vapor. Result: the skin breathes. This semi-permeability limits maceration and promotes a healthy skin environment, essential when skin is weakened.
The film's suppleness and stretchability make all the difference on a daily basis. The film conforms to anatomical contours and follows movements, without creating tension or folds. As you move, the protection stays in place. This adaptability improves skin tolerance and reduces the risk of irritation from repeated rubbing.
Another advantage: prolonged wear. Depending on the care protocol, it can remain in place for up to 7 days. Fewer changes mean fewer manipulations, and therefore less aggression on the skin. For you, it also means time savings and improved continuity of care.
The 10 cm x 2 m roll format allows for customized cutting. You adjust the length to your precise needs, with no wastage. To optimize skin protection, you can combine it with adapted sterile compresses or a gentle cleansing solution: this synergy reinforces local hygiene while preserving the skin's balance.
How to use this transparent adhesive film
Instructions for use
Start by carefully cleaning and drying the area concerned. Cut the required length directly from the roll, making sure to cover the compress or medical device generously.
The two side tabs make it easy to grip. They allow you to position the film without touching the adhesive surface, while keeping the wound or insertion point in view. Apply gently, smoothing from the center outwards to avoid wrinkles.
Once in place, the film provides continuous protection, even in the shower or bath. Its water resistance keeps the device safe, even in the event of prolonged contact with moisture.

Expert advice
At the counter, I often advise you to prepare your skin well before application: clean, dry and free of greasy residue. If the area is prone to perspiration, apply the film in a calm, temperate environment to optimize adhesion. To remove, proceed slowly, holding the skin with one hand and stretching the film parallel to the skin surface. This simple gesture reduces tension and improves comfort, especially on sensitive skin.
