PolyMem Shapes Wound Dressing

• Comes in sacral and a variety of oval shapes
• Already contoured to fit the most common wounds
• Provides continuous wound bed cleansing
• Has film adhesive membrane
• Non-adherent wound pad

• Cleanses: Contains a mild, tissue-friendly cleansing agent, activated by moisture that is gradually released into the wound bed. Built-in cleansing capabilities reduce the need to cleanse wounds during dressing changes so that one can avoid disrupting the growth of healthy tissue, as the wound heals.
• Fills up the wound: Gently expands to fill and conform to the wound.
• Absorbs the exudate: Wicks away up to ten times its weight in exudate. The absorption capability activates only if the material detects exudate. It adjusts to the wound type to provide the dressing function needed.
• Moistens the wound bed: Keeps the wound bed moist and soothes traumatized tissues, reducing wound pain and providing comfort at the wound site. The moisturizer also keeps the dressing pad from adhering to the wound so it removes with virtually no pain, improving the caregiver-patient interaction and overall care experience.
• Creates an optimal healing environment: PolyMem membrane keeps the wound bed moist and promotes the concentration of the bodys naturally produced growth factors, nutrients and regenerated cells in the wound bed. As a result, clinical studies show that these dressings offer quicker wound recovery times than traditional dressings.
