The PolyMem Silver Shapes Sacral Foam Dressing is a premium antimicrobial wound dressing specifically engineered for the sacral region. Featuring PolyMem’s advanced multifunctional QuadraFoam technology, it works continuously to cleanse, fill, absorb, and moisturize the wound bed—supporting faster, more comfortable healing. Its pre-cut sacral shape with a thin-film adhesive border allows maximum protection, reduced pain, and simplified dressing changes for both clinicians and patients.

Features & Benefits

• QuadraFoam Technology—provides four essential healing actions in one dressing: cleanses, fills, absorbs, and moistens.
• Moisture-activated wound cleanser—gradually releases a mild, non-toxic cleansing agent into the wound bed.
• Super-absorbent starch copolymer—absorbs and binds exudate efficiently to help maintain an ideal moist healing environment.
• Glycerin-enhanced comfort—prevents adherence to the wound, soothes tissues, supports autolytic debridement, and helps reduce odor.
• Antimicrobial PolyMem Silver provides broad-spectrum, microbicidal protection for up to 7 days.
• Clear, semi-permeable backing—allows visual monitoring of saturation while blocking outside contaminants.
• Conforms to sacral anatomy—heart-shaped design supports secure placement, comfort, and reduced disruption to the wound bed.
• Reduced frequency of dressing changes—longer wear time means less discomfort and improved quality of care.

How to Apply

1. Clean the wound and surrounding skin per facility protocol.
2. Remove the sterile dressing from the packaging.
3. Align the heart-shaped dressing over the sacral wound with the adhesive border on intact skin.
4. Smooth edges gently to secure proper adhesion.
5. Replace when exudate reaches wound margin or sooner if clinically indicated.

Indications for Use

Appropriate for a wide range of sacral wounds, including:

• Acute and chronic wounds
• Pressure ulcers
• Surgical wounds
• Skin tears
• Dehisced wounds
• Full- and partial-thickness wounds
• Sloughy, granulating, epithelializing, or minimally exudating wounds
• Palliative and infected wounds (as part of clinical management)

Removal & Change Frequency

• Change dressing when exudate reaches wound margin. Remove the old dressing, taking care not to disturb the wound bed. If infected, treat accordingly, and reapply the dressing.

Contraindications

• No specific contraindications are listed by the manufacturer aside from standard clinical judgment.

Warnings

• Avoid unnecessary manual cleansing—the dressing continuously cleanses the wound.
• Ensure full adhesion around edges to maintain protection and effectiveness.
• Change only as indicated by visual saturation or professional evaluation.

Storage

• Store in a clean, dry location.
• Keep packaging sealed until use to maintain sterility.

Use & Application

• Designed exclusively for sacral anatomy
• Maintains optimal moisture balance while supporting natural healing
• Helps reduce pain, odor, and skin trauma during dressing changes
• Supports all phases of wound healing—from start to closure
