3M foam silicone dressing for pressure sores or pressure ulcers

3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Dressings. Impressively strong. Amazingly gentle.

Not all silicone foam wound dressings are created equal. Where others may fall short and fall off, 3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam Dressings deliver, providing impressive adhesion that’s strong yet gentle.

  • 3M invented gentle-to-skin medical adhesives more than 50 years ago, and we continue to innovate solutions that provide consistent adhesion with easy removal to help minimise the risk of Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injury (MARSI). Because wound care starts with skin care.
