PolyMem Wound Care Dressing
4" x 4" Non-adhesive
Ferris
PolyMem®, known worldwide as "The Pink Dressing,"
provides a warm, moist, healing environment that promotes
formation of granulation tissue and reepithelialization...
and much more. PolyMem Dressings protect the wound as they
facilitate the body's natural healing
process. The model of common-sense dressing design
PolyMem Dressings
consist of a polyurethane membrane matrix on a
semi-permeable thin-film backing. Unlike any other
dressing, the hydrophilic membrane contains a
cleanser, a moisturizer and a super-absorbent starch
co-polymer. This unique design and patented formulation
eliminates the need for manual debridement and cleaning
during dressing changes, reducing patient discomfort and
the time and cost of dressing changes. PolyMem
facilitates the healing process by promoting the
concentration of the body's naturally produced growth
factors, nutrients and regenerated cells in the wound
bed. The F-68 Surfactant contained in the dressing, is a mild wound cleansing agent activated by moisture and gradually released into the wound bed. Interfacial tension between healthy tissue and debris is reduced, loosening eschar and necrotic tissue, supporting autolytic debridement and keeping the wound bed clean throughout the entire wound healing process. The Glycerin, a moisturizer contained in the dressing, keeps the dressing from adhering to the wound bed, providing comfort at the wound site. Glycerin also reduces odor, conserves living fat cells, reduces hypergranulation, soothes traumatized tissues and supports autolytic debridement. The Super-Absorbent Starch Co-Polymer contained in the dressing, draws, absorbs and holds excess fluids in the hydrophilic membrane while allowing the body’s natural growth factors and nutrients to concentrate at the wound site. |
PolyMem® Cloth-backed Adhesive Dressings deliver the advantages of PolyMem technology and the benefits of a breathable, adhesive-coated cloth backing that is exceptionally comfortable for the user. PolyMem cloth-backed adhesive dressings are ideal for treating ecchymosis and resolving skin tears caused by friction and shear.
