The Hartmann Atrauman Contact Layer Wound Dressing is gentler on the skin, reducing trauma during dressing changes. This non-occlusive dressing allows for easy exudate passage into the secondary dressing, resulting in a moist wound bed that promotes healing. The breathable design keeps the wound well-ventilated, lowering the risk of maceration and encouraging a healthier healing process. Its conformability allows it to conform to the contours of the body, providing maximum coverage and protection. Furthermore, this dressing is compatible with the majority of wound care protocols and can be used in conjunction with other treatments without losing efficacy. This dressing is versatile and can be used on a variety of wound types, including chronic wounds, burns, and skin grafts.

Features:

• Non-petroleum composition.
• Can be cut to size of wound bed without unraveling or shredding.
• Suitable for patients with sensitive skin or sensitivity to medication.
• Wear time is dependent on condition of wound and level of exudate.
• Non-adherent wound contact layer for protection and atraumatic treatment.
• Coating is a natural vegetable based fatty acid composition that promotes a natural healing process.
• For the treatment of superficial, acute and chronic, slightly to moderately exuding wounds of all types.

Composition:

Support fabric made of hydrophobic polyester tulle, impregnated with a non-medicated ointment based on triglycerides (neutral fats). The ointment contains (INCI-assigned names): Caprylic/Capric/ Myristic/Stearic Triglyceride; Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2.

Intended Purpose:

Atrauman are single-use, sterile, non-medicated ointment dressings suitable for the treatment of superficial acute and chronic wounds of any type. As a non-adherent wound contact layer, it is particularly suitable for preventing the secondary dressing from sticking to the wound bed and for keeping wound edges and surrounding skin supple. Due to the neutral properties of the non-medicated ointment mass, Atrauman is especially useful in dermatology as well as for patients with sensitive skin and those sensitive to certain medications. Atrauman is suitable for the treatment on the human skin by professional users.

Contraindications: Do not use Atrauman on patients who may be allergic to any of its ingredients.

How to apply:

• Clean and dry the wound area per protocol prior to application.
• Take Atrauman out of the peel pack with both product covers in place and, if needed, cut it with sterile scissors to the size of the wound.
• After removal of one of the product covers, place this side of the dressing onto the wound and remove the second cover.
• Place a sterile, absorbent dressing pad over the Atrauman dressing to absorb exudate.
• Unless otherwise prescribed by the physician or another healthcare professional, apply a new Atrauman dressing at each dressing change.
• The wear time of the dressing depends on the condition of the wound and the level of exudate.
• Note: If there are therapeutic reasons for not changing the dressing, the ointment may be absorbed when left in place for a longer period of time.
• In this case possible wound adhesion which may occur can be eliminated by placing a second Atrauman dressing over the first one.
