Tegaderm™ I.V. Advanced Securement Dressing – 2.5" x 2.75"

The 3M™ Tegaderm™ I.V. Advanced Securement Dressing (2.5" x 2.75") is engineered to provide superior catheter securement, extended wear time, and enhanced patient comfort. Designed to reduce the risk of catheter-related complications, this advanced dressing maintains a strong hold while flexing with patient movement and managing moisture.

Featuring innovative adhesives, it balances securement with gentle removal to minimize skin trauma. Its waterproof film coating acts as a barrier against external contaminants—including liquids, bacteria, and viruses*—while allowing for up to 7 days of wear on central venous catheters (CVCs) or the full duration of a peripheral IV (PIV).

Key Features & Benefits
