Tegaderm +Pad film dressing with nonadherent pad is a composite dressing.
A sterile, waterproof bacterial barrier consists of a nonadherent absorbent pad bonded to a larger thin film transparent dressing.
Breathable film allows skin to function normally with good exchange of moisture vapor and oxygen.
Moist wound environment enhances healing and lessens pain.
Nonadherent pad won't stick to the wound, allowing normal wound healing processes to occur with less pain and trauma.
