The last few visits we noticed a new Tegaderm design. So I looked it up online. From the website:
"3M Health Care today announced the launch of 3M™ Tegaderm™ I.V. Advanced Securement Dressing for patients, a comprehensive solution with transparent, breathable film, a stabilization border and new, comfort adhesive technology. The new dressing is perceived by clinicians to reduce catheter manipulation and resist staining which could lead to less frequent dressing changes, and may provide a cost savings option for hospitals."
COST SAVINGS FOR HOSPITALS!?! Who here remembers the COST of a regular Tegaderm? Anyone? Oh Yeah it's $17.53 - for one Tegaderm! I am dying to request a itemized bill from 8/14 just to see how much the new version is SAVING the HOSPITAL. insert screaming here.
