Warnings and Precautions

Do not use 3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam in combination with oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or hypochlorite solution. These solutions may affect the structure and performance of the polyurethane foam.
3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam may be used on infected wounds under the care of a health care professional. If the wound does not begin to show signs of healing or if any other unexpected symptoms occur, consult a health care professional.

Removal & Change Frequency

3M™ Tegaderm™ Silicone Foam may remain in place up to seven days. Dressing change frequency will depend on the type of wound, volume of exudate, and clinical situation. When the exudate spreads to the edges of the dressing or the dressing begins to leak, a dressing change is indicated. To remove dressing, carefully lift the edge of the dressing from the skin. If the dressing is adhered to the wound surface, saturate with normal saline and gently loosen. Continue lifting until dressing is free from the skin surface and remove.
