I first encountered Tegaderms when Janssen used to send them out to Duragesic users, but the companies making the generics are too cheap to send them; I tried the cheaper knockoffs, the store brands that still cost more than buying Tegaderms here, and the more expensive Bioclusives and keep coming back to good old real Tegaderms. I did also try 4" wide Medfix and Hypafix tapes, but it was a hassle to use, I really needed three hands. Easier for someone else to apply rather than trying to stick it onto yourself. Tegaderms stick well even when I get sweaty in the summer, as long as skin is dry, clean and unpowdered when the Tegaderm is applied, as well as after an hour in a heavily-chlorinated rehab pool or a long soak in an epsom-salt bath, but they don't rip the dickens out of my skin when I peel one off every 2 days. Some people do better using a "skin prep" product under the Tegaderm but I tend to have problems with getting the prep on the place where the medication patch is going to be so the medication does not absorb properly. Tegaderm does not adhere well to skin that is very hairy (do NOT shave the area, use clippers to clip hair down to the skin), dirty (wash with mild soap and rinse very well), damp (try a blow dryer on no-heat setting), or has anything on it such as powder or lotion (wait to use that until after you have your dressing in place). Oily-skinned people may want to try cleaning the area with rubbing alcohol beforehand and allowing skin to dry COMPLETELY before applying (this is what my doctor told me to do, check with your own doctor or pharmacist if you have concerns), or using a skin prep product. My only real problem with these, and not really enough to knock off a star, is occasionally it will itch like a stinker. That's just me and adhesives. If you tend to have major skin reactions to adhesives, you may wish to buy a single dressing locally to test before investing in a larger package here so they do not go to waste if you do have a problem. Scratching doesn't get through very well, but lightly tapping or slapping the area relieves the itch somewhat, and it does go away. After I remove the patch and dressing, I apply some cortisone or Benadryl cream (or both) to the place where it was if the itch persists. Make sure you rotate your placement locations to avoid skin damage. By the way, I find it easiest to remove these painlessly if I peel it so it folds back against itself. Pulling it straight out stretches the skin and huuuuuuurts. I have a little trick to applying these with my patches, since I live alone and don't have help to stick it on properly I often got them crooked or wrinkled when applying onto a patch that's already in place, especially on an arm, and somehow a wrinkled Tegaderm itches more. I peel the backing off the Tegaderm and lay it down on a table or counter, sticky side up obviously. :) I take my medication patch out of its package and carefully center it on the Tegaderm, backing side up, then lay the Tegaderm backing back down on the sticky surface to make a "sandwich" and rub it well to adhere the parts together. Then I remove the two backings - make sure you get both!! - and slap the combination patch-and-dressing in place. Last I remove the white frame from the front (almost died laughing once when I saw one poor devil at my pain clinic with that big white box on his arm, he didn't know you were supposed to take that part off! It's just there to stabilize the film during application, the open center is so you can see what you're doing). Since I'm on a 48-hour change schedule I can just remember whether I'm on odd- or even-numbered days that month but if you're on a 72-hour schedule you might want to write your change day on the patch with a Sharpie marker before you lay it down on the Tegaderm. My insurance does not cover these because they are considered a "convenience item" (if the people making those rules had to wear these dadblamed patches they would probably think otherwise, they're lifesavers for me but they're still a pain in the patoot) so the price is very important. The amount charged for this 4x4.75" size at the drugstore was downright sinful - ten bucks for a box of two! - from a brick and mortar medical supply store it was just ridiculous at nearly three dollars apiece, but here it's very reasonable, so I've made sure to tell my doctors and nurses to pass on to patients who use Tegaderms - or worse, are struggling with adhesive tape that just doesn't do the job because the Tegaderms are too expensive at retail - that they need to come here to desertcart! The only place I have seen lower prices is an auction site and that just felt hinky to me. EDIT: I've noticed some people getting really torqued up over their dressings arriving in a zip-top bag instead of a nice box. Since most of these vendors get them in large bulk boxes in order to pass the savings along to you, some orders (especially the small orders of 10) of Tegaderms may not come boxed. I order 50 every few months since I go through 15-16 a month and don't stress much whether they are boxed or bagged. If they are bagged, I check the individual packets while counting them on arrival to make sure they are intact. As long as the individual packet is not damaged, THE DRESSING IS STILL STERILE. These are professional medical supplies and thus do not come with instructions other than a couple of small line drawings on the individual packet, if you need more guidance, just Google "how to apply Tegaderm" and there are many resources including YouTube videos. Review: Great Price! Saved A LOT of $$$$$!!! - I will never buy 3M Tegaderm Transparent Dressings from anywhere besides desertcart ever again! The price is AMAZING!!!! I have looked everywhere & desertcart has the best prices I can find by a landslide. I have Breast Cancer & am Prescribed the Fentanyl Patch for pain. The Fentanyl Patches do not adhere well to my body, I have to at the very least use medical tape to keep them on. Needless to say, the medical tape doesn't work or I wouldn't even bother with the Tegaderm Dressings because of the price...however they are the only thing that works besides the J&J Bioclusives that my CVS Pharmacist gives me. The J&J Bioclusives work, but unless you can get them for free from your Pharmacy, they are more expensive than 3M Tegaderm, believe it or not. I have tried calling around to different Pharmacies and if they do have them they only have 3 in a packet, which will last the average Fentanyl Patch patient 9 days out of a 30 day prescription. That's only if you're lucky enough to find a pharmacy that has them & they usually only have 1 or 2 packets & that still doesn't cover the whole month. Before I found Tagederm on desertcart I was paying $17.00 for 4!!!!! Now, thanks to desertcart...I don't have to pay the outrageous price for a quality product. The 3M Tegaderm works great! Any Pharmacist will tell you to use these, I'm not sure why 1 person said it caused them to overdose...they are the same & work the same as the J&J Bioclusives. They are made from the same material, you're basically choosing the brand 3M or Johnson & Johnson. I also double checked that with my Pharmacist & he said all you're paying for is the J&J Name & that's why they're more expensive, but IMO the 3M brand works the same & is easier to apply. The Tegaderm 4x4 size is perfect for the 75MCG Fentanyl Patch & they keep them on you for the entire 3 days during showers and everything else you do. I would and have highly recommended these for anyone who has problems keeping their Fentanyl patch on. I also use a different type of the 3M Tegaderm for my Portacath & it keeps my Port dry as well, I just wish they'd fit over my patch, b/c my home health nurse always leaves me more than I need ;-) There are 2-3 distributors on desertcart that sell the 4x4 3M Tegaderm around the same price range. I use BP Medical Supplies via desertcart & have not had problems or issues arise from my transactions with them. They came exactly as described, it took 6 days from my purchase online to being delivered at my door. The size of the Tegaderm I recieved is 4 x 4 & 3/4 inches & the brand was 3M. I'm not sure why people are saying they're not getting what is described, I would try BP Med Supplies & they will give you exactly what's in the description. Thanks desertcart & BP Med Supplies!!! I couldn't be happier with the money I saved! ## Features - Made with a hypoallergenic, latex-free adhesive - Conformable, dressing flexes with skin for greater patient comfort - Picture-frame delivery makes placement accurate and easy, minimizing potential to stick to gloves or to itself - Application - Short peripheral and midline venous catheter - Application - Clean, closed surgical incisions - Waterproof dressing provides a bacterial and viral barrier - Breathable film allows moisture vapor and oxygen exchange - Provides a moist wound environment for enhanced healing - Dressings provide a viral barrier (HIV-1 and HBV) while the dressings remain intact without leakage ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0055AGR7U | | Best Sellers Rank | #31,295 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #67 in First Aid Bandaging Pads | | Brand | 3M | | Brand Name | 3M | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 6,082 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04001895928642 | | Item Form | Patch | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Weight | 11.04 ounces | | Manufacturer | 3M | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBA_1626W | | Material | Polyurethane (PU) | | Material Features | Waterproof | | Material Type | Polyurethane (PU) | | Model Number | FBA_1626W | | Number of Items | 50 | | Number of Pieces | 50 | | Package Size Name | 10 x 12 cm | | Product Style | Adhesive | | Recommended Uses For Product | Covering and protecting catheter sites and wounds, maintaining a moist environment for wound healing, acting as a secondary dressing, protecting at-risk skin, securing devices to the skin, serving as a protective eye covering, waterproof for bathing, showering, or swimming | | Size | 10cm x 12cm (Pack of 50) | | Sterile | Sterile | | Sterility Rating | Sterile | | Style | Adhesive | | Target Use Body Part | Arm, Body, Leg | | UPC | 772195088476 707387509507 | | Unit Count | 50 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** 3M - **Material:** Polyurethane (PU) - **Size:** 10cm x 12cm (Pack of 50) - **Sterility Rating:** Sterile - **Style:** Adhesive ## Images ![Tegaderm Transparent Dressing with Label 4" x 4 3/4" (10 x 12 cm)50 per Box #1626W - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mObXXQehL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I'm a type 1 diabetic. Would this hold a Dexcom glucose device I wear on my abdomen.** A: A friend whose daughter is Type 1 says these hold a pump on well for at least 3 days. Many are getting a week out of it for holding on Dexcom CGMs; a few say it sometimes doesn't last a week. If you want longest lasting possible, try the Tegaderm HP (for Holding Power), which people are getting a couple weeks from. But they're about twice as much ... **Q: Are these very flexible and comfortable enough to use in sensitive areas such as the breasts?** A: I wear the Tegaderm patch on my abdomen & have no problem in doing so. It is flexible & very comfortable. I have worn the patches for approximately 5 years & haven't had any issues. I would not hesitate to try wearing it on the breast area. **Q: How many are in a box?** A: Beware, the listing reads "50" per box BUT this item is only ONE. I purchased this item on May 31, 2018 and when we contacted the seller (DHS MED) about the quantity missing the reply was that this listing is incorrect and the listing should be for only 1 item. I am very irritated about this "listing error" and as of 6/6/18 the listing still shows "50 per box", the price is now INCREASED and the seller is now a different company. **Q: The actual size of the dressing?** A: The actual size of this item is 4 inches by 4 and 3/4 inches. The package itself is about 5 by 6 inches. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tegaderm Love :) *by Y***R on December 12, 2013* I've been using these for years to hold down a pain patch that doesn't like to stick, and I don't give a mouse fart in a high wind what the manufacturer says about being able to reapply the patch if it falls off or peels up, my experience has been that once you lose that initial "stick" to your skin and it gets that whitish film on the skin side the thing doesn't work for crap anymore so you've GOT to keep that seal intact - and if you get water behind there, forget it, so you gotta have waterproof.

I switched to these larger Tegaderm films to keep my medication patches secure in the shower, and they work flawlessly. They stay perfectly adhered without peeling, and I change them every 3.5 days. I have very sensitive skin and have had no issues with irritation. Highly recommend if you need a dependable, waterproof barrier. ## Frequently Bought Together - 3M Tegaderm Transparent Dressing with Label 4" x 4 3/4" (10 x 12 cm)50 per Box #1626W - 3M Tegaderm 1624W Transparent Film Dressing 2 3/8" x 2 3/4" - Window Frame Box: 100 - 3M Tegaderm Transparent Dressing with Label 4" x 4 3/4" (10 x 12 cm) 25 per Box #1626W (25 Box) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/5978594-tegaderm-transparent-dressing-with-label-4-x-4-3-4](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/5978594-tegaderm-transparent-dressing-with-label-4-x-4-3-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
