PolyMem Silver Non-Adhesive Foam Dressing is a multifunctional, semi-permeable wound dressing designed to support cleaner, faster, and more comfortable healing. This unique hydrophilic membrane matrix combines a superabsorbent core, a built-in moisturizer, a safe wound cleanser, and small-particle silver for broad antimicrobial protection. PolyMem Silver continuously cleanses, fills, absorbs, and moistens the wound bed—helping reduce procedure-related pain, managing infection risks, and maintaining ideal moisture levels for improved healing outcomes. Flexible and non-adhesive, it can be easily cut to size and used as a primary, secondary, or combined dressing.

Features & Benefits

• Contains small-particle silver that kills 99.9% of all bacteria and fungi tested.
• Provides effective antimicrobial release for the full wear time.
• Ideal for wounds prone to infection or those needing additional microbial control.
• Absorbs at least ten times its weight in wound exudate.
• Conforms to the wound as it gently expands, helping maintain proper moisture balance.
• Hydrophilic polyurethane matrix continuously moistens the wound to prevent adherence.
• The built-in wound cleanser activates with moisture, helping eliminate the need for manual cleansing.
• Reduces procedure-related pain and swelling.
• Dressing removal is virtually pain-free with no trauma to healing tissue.
• Semi-permeable polyurethane film backing helps protect the wound from contaminants.
• High-integrity, non-fragmenting design leaves no residue and removes in one piece.
• Latex-free and safe for a wide variety of wound types.
• Can be cut to fit and used where tapeless or roll-taping methods are preferred.

How to Apply PolyMem Silver Non-Adhesive Dressing

1. Cleanse surrounding skin if needed; avoid excessive manual wound cleansing due to the built-in cleanser.
2. Cut the non-adhesive dressing to the desired size if required.
3. Place the dressing directly over the wound, allowing it to conform naturally.
4. Secure using tape, gauze wrap, or preferred fixation method.
5. Leave in place for up to 7 days, depending on exudate levels.
