PolyMem WIC Silver Non-Adhesive Wound Dressing is for use on wounds with shallow depths, as well as wounds with cavities, in combination with other dressings in order to increase absorption. It donates moisture or absorbs exudates, depending on the condition of wound bed and fluid level in dressing. Clinician can add sterile water or saline to make the dressing a faster moisture donor or can allow the dressing to draw fluid to the site as it absorbs fluid into the dressing. It helps relieve wound pain and improves comfort.

Features

• Cost-effective.
• Perforated for ease of use and can be cut to size.
• Helps relieve wound pain and improve comfort.Reinforced for added strength.
• Contains small particles of silver that provide an antimicrobial reservoir in the dressing.

• Will donate moisture or absorb exudate, depending on condition of wound bed and fluid level in dressing.
• Standard, hydrophilic, polyurethane membrane matrix with a semi-permeable, polyurethane, continuous, thin film backing.

Other Features/Benefits:

• Facilitates management of cavity wounds.
• Soft and pliable, conforming to wound shape.
• Quickly absorbs and holds up to 10 times weight.

• Will not stick to the wound bed while maintaining the integrity of healing tissue.
• Use any of the other appropriate PolyMem or Shapes by PolyMem configurations as a secondary dressing to cover the wound filler.

Continuous Cleansing:

• Reduces the need to cleanse wound bed during dressing changes.
• Minimizes pain and disruption of newly forming tissues often associated with wound bed cleansing.

Moisture Balancing:

• Polymeric membrane establishes and maintains a clean and moisturized wound bed.
• Moisture-balancing actions of the PolyMem WIC Silver cavity wound filler are able to absorb impressive amounts of moisture and deliver moisture as demanded by the exposed tissues in the wound.

Wide Range of Application:

• Can be cut to size.
• Helps relieve wound pain and improve comfort.
• Small particle silver provides an antimicrobial reservoir in the dressing.
• Will donate moisture or absorb exudate, depending on the condition of the wound bed and fluid level in the dressing.
• Used on wounds with shallow depths in combination with other secondary dressings in order to increase absorption.
• Clinician can add sterile water or saline to make the dressing a faster moisture donor or can allow the dressing to draw fluid to the site as it absorbs fluid into it.
• Relieves wound pain and reduces the spread of inflammation into surrounding uninjured tissues without interfering with the robust localized inflammatory response required for healing.

Cost Effective:

• Removes intact - no flushing or rinsing of debris is usually necessary.
• Dressing changes are easy - remove old PolyMem WIC Silver cavity filler dressing and apply new.
• Saves time and supplies by usually eliminating the need to cleanse the wound bed during dressing changes.
• Saves time and money by often reducing the number of dressing changes while extending the time between changes.

How can the characteristics of PolyMem dressings help you:

• MOISTENS: Helps keep the wound bed moist, preventing the dressing from sticking to the wound bed – dressing removal is virtually pain-free.
• FILLS: Gently expands and conforms to continuously fill the wound bed. The wound site will constantly receive the benefits of PolyMem dressings.
• ABSORBS: Effectively wicks away up to 10 times its weight in exudate, allowing the natural growth factors and nutrients to concentrate in the wound bed.
• PROTECTS FROM CONTAMINATION: Semi-permeable polyurethane film backing helps prevent contaminants from entering the dressing or wounded.
• CLEANSES: The built-in cleansing agent is activated by moisture and released into the wound bed, reducing the need for manual cleansing during dressing changes, which can interrupt the growth of healthy tissues.
• RELIEVES PAIN AND SWELLING: Both persistent and procedure-related wound pain are usually relieved by PolyMem’s ability to continually moisten the wound bed. Polymem helps inhibit the nociceptor response, which helps reduce the swelling, pain and inflammation at and around the wound site.

PolyMem dressings are:

• Available with and without silver.
• Not recommended for use in conjunction with topical treatments.
• Able to be left on the wound for up to 7 days, depending on exudate levels.
