Product Description
3M Tegaderm 1622W is a small frame-style transparent film dressing intended to protect catheter and wound sites and to secure devices to skin where a low-profile, waterproof barrier is required. This variant is suited for clinics, hospitals or home-care users needing a compact dressing with a picture-frame delivery for precise placement.
Specifications
- Size: 1.75 x 1.75 inches (4.4 x 4.4 cm).
- Style: Frame/picture-frame window delivery (frame-style central opening).
- Manufacturer part number: 1622W.
- Pack count: 100 dressings per box (BX/100).
- Packaging: individual sterile pouches inside a factory-sealed box.
- Material/function: transparent film that provides a breathable moisture‑vapour exchange layer and a waterproof barrier to liquids, bacteria and (when intact) a viral barrier in vitro.
What is included
- 100 individual sterile Tegaderm frame-style transparent film dressings in single-use pouches (box contents evidenced on packaging and distributor listings).
- No additional absorbent pad or secondary dressing is included with this frame-style variant (this is a window/frame film dressing, not the Tegaderm + pad variants).
Condition and packaging
- Product is supplied factory boxed as shown in the reference photograph.
- Individual dressings are sealed in single-use sterile pouches (sealed pouch shown on distributor/ manufacturer images).
Usage notes
- Designed to protect IV sites, secure devices to skin and cover/ protect minor wounds where a thin transparent barrier is appropriate.
- The frame-style delivery helps place the dressing without the adhesive sticking to gloves or folding onto itself.
- Dressing may be left in place according to clinical protocol; frequency of change depends on drainage and local clinical guidance.
Limitations and warnings
- Not a substitute for primary wound closure (for example, sutures or staples).
- Not intended for deep, heavily exuding, or infected wounds without clinician direction.
- Availability and packaging quantities may be restricted to healthcare purchasers or require a professional account in some distributors.
If you need a variant with an absorbent pad (island pad) or a different size, check the part number carefully — 1622W is the small 1.75 x 1.75 in frame-style dressing. If exact clinical suitability is required for a specific wound type, consult a clinician.
