BENEFITS OF POLYMEM®
PolyMem® dressings belong to an innovative class of multifunctional wound care dressings. No other single wound dressing combines the 4 key wound-healing capabilities like PolyMem®. Built into a PolyMem® dressing, these four capabilities are ready when you need them - without incurring extra costs or needing additional supplies.
CLEANSES
PolyMem® contains a mild, non-ionic, non-toxic, tissue-friendly cleansing agent, activated by moisture which is gradually released into the wound bed. Built-in cleansing capabilities reduce the need to cleanse wounds during dressing changes, so you can avoid disrupting the growth of healthy tissue, as the wound heals.
FILLS
PolyMem® gently expands to ll and conform to the wound.
ABSORBS
PolyMem® wicks away up to ten times it’s weight in exudate. The absorption capability activates only if the material detects exudate. PolyMem® adjusts to the wound type to provide the dressing function needed.
MOISTENS
PolyMem® keeps the wound bed moist and soothes traumatised tissues, reducing wound pain and providing comfort at the wound site. The moisturiser 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.
Utilising the exible Polymem® formulation, there have been multiple additions to the Polymem® Range:
ANTIMICROBIAL
PolyMem® Silver allows clinicians to choose a dressing that has antimicrobial properties as well as high levels of uid absorption; perfectly suited to infected, exudating wounds.
EXTRA ABSORBENCY
PolyMem® comes in an extra thick size (PolyMax®), allowing the bene ts of Polymem® as a contact layer with extra absorbency for heavily exudating wounds.
SHAPES
This aspect of the Polymem® family sets it apart from most other competitiors.
