Atrauman Ag is a non-adherent wound contact layer suitable for the treatment of chronic wounds, such as ulcus cruris, diabetic leg ulcer and decubitus. It is also suitable for the treatment of acute burns up to 2nd degree. Atrauman Ag is suitable for the treatment on the human skin by professional users. The support fabric is made of polyamide fibers coated with elemental silver. The impregnation is non-medicated and triglyceride based (neutral lipids). The impregnation contains (INCI assigned names): Caprylic/Capric/Myristik/StearicTriglyceride; Bis-diglycerylpolyacyladipate-2 and Macrogol 2000. The soft, thin support fabric drapes easily and ensures close contact with the wound base. The fabric’s surface and the impregnation counteract adhesion to the wound; as a result, the dressing supports atraumatic dressing changes. Atrauman Ag acts as a silver-containing barrier dressing. The impregnation protects the wound edges helping to prevent maceration, it is non-medicated and contains no paraffin.

  5. The efficacy of the barrier dressing lasts for up to seven days. Unless otherwise prescribed by the doctor or medically indicated, a new Atrauman Ag dressing should be applied at each dressing change. The wear time of one dressing shall not exceed seven days.

FAQ

What is an Atrauman dressing used for?

Atrauman is a brand of wound dressing that is commonly used in the management of partial and full-thickness wounds, such as pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, and surgical wounds. This hydrocolloid dressing works by creating a moist environment around the wound, which helps to facilitate the healing process. The hydrocolloid material absorbs exudate (fluid) from the wound, keeping it moist and preventing the formation of scabs. This environment can reduce pain, promote new tissue growth, and lower the risk of infection.

What is the best dressing for an ulcer?

The best dressing for an ulcer depends on several factors, including the type, location, and severity of the ulcer, as well as the patient's individual needs. Commonly used wound dressings for ulcers include:

  1. Hydrocolloid Dressings: Absorb exudate and create a moist environment, promoting healing. Commonly used for pressure and leg ulcers.
  2. Foam Dressings: Absorb exudate and cushion the wound. Suitable for pressure and leg ulcers.
  3. Alginate Dressings: Made from seaweed, these dressings absorb exudate and create a moist environment, often used for ulcers producing a lot of exudate.
  4. Hydrogel Dressings: Soothe and hydrate the wound, reducing pain and promoting healing, often used for superficial wounds.
  5. Film Dressings: Provide protection from external contaminants and are used for superficial wounds.

The best dressing should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the patient’s needs and wound condition.

What is the difference between Atrauman and Zetuvit dressing?

Atrauman and Zetuvit are both wound dressings, but they have differences in their composition and benefits:

  • Atrauman: A hydrocolloid dressing used for partial and full-thickness wounds like pressure ulcers and surgical wounds. It creates a moist environment that facilitates healing and absorbs exudate.
  • Zetuvit: A range of wound dressings that may combine materials like hydrocolloids, foam, and alginate for moisture management and cushioning. For instance, Zetuvit Plus is a hydrocolloid dressing with foam that provides both moisture management and cushioning.

Both dressings are effective for wound care, but the best option should be chosen by a healthcare professional based on the wound and patient needs.

Fantastic product

Can’t buy it at chemist great website & delivery time. Box was rather large for product could reduce post cost if put in padded envelope. Will buy again as it’s the only cure for infection when you have DVT.
