About

Tegaderm HP + Pad 8590 is an advanced sterile dressing designed for wound care, combining a transparent film dressing with an absorbent pad. The 'HP' signifies its high-performance adhesive, which provides secure adherence even in moist conditions, making it suitable for wounds with light to moderate exudate. The transparent film component is made of a thin, breathable polyurethane material that allows for continuous visual inspection of the wound without removing the dressing, thereby minimizing disturbance to the healing process. This film also acts as a barrier against external contaminants, bacteria, and viruses, reducing the risk of infection while allowing oxygen and moisture vapor exchange, which is crucial for maintaining a moist wound healing environment.

The integrated non-adherent pad absorbs exudate, protecting the wound bed and preventing maceration of the surrounding skin. The combination of these features makes Tegaderm HP + Pad 8590 ideal for a variety of wounds, including surgical incisions, lacerations, abrasions, and superficial burns. Its conformable nature allows it to adapt to various body contours, ensuring patient comfort and effective wound coverage. The dressing is designed for extended wear, reducing the frequency of dressing changes and associated costs, while promoting optimal healing conditions.
