Description
- PolyMem Silver Formulation:PolyMem Max Silver dressing has small particle silver added to its formulation
- When silver formulation comes in contact with the wound, moisture and fluids in the wound bed are absorbed into the dressing, releasing silver ions, which protect the dressing from microbial contamination
- PolyMem Silver dressings are the most absorptive of the silver-containing dressings while also helping to reduce the risk of damaging healthy cells within the wound
- In tests for antimicrobial effectiveness using in vitro testing methods, this silver formulation dressings killed at least 99.9% of the entire population of each organism tested
- Super Absorbent:60% more absorbent than same size, standard thickness, PolyMem Silver formulation dressing
- Holds up to 10 times its own weight
- Quickly absorbs moisture and wound fluid
- Locks wound fluid inside the dressing, ina gel form, helping to reduce the risk of maceration
- Saves time and money by reducing the number of dressing changes and extending the time between dressing changes
- Flexible:Soft and pliable
- Conforms to wound shape
- Non-Adherent:Will not stick to the wound bed
- Maintains integrity of healing tissue
- Will not dehydrate the wound bed
- Functional:Automatically donates moisture or absorbs exudate, depending on the condition of the wound bed and fluid level in the dressing
- Clinicians can add sterile water or saline to make a faster moisture donor or can allow the dressing to draw fluid to the site as it absorbs fluid into the dressing
- Helps relieve wound pain, inflammation, edema and bruising while improving comfort
- Reduce the spread of inflammation into surrounding uninjured tissues without interfering with the robust localized inflammatory response required for healing
- Continuous Cleansing:Reduces the need to cleanse wound bed during dressing changes
- Reduces disruption of newly forming tissues often caused by manual cleansing
- Saves clinician time usually necessary for dressing changes
