PolyMem Max Film Adhesive Dressing is an ultra-thin, adhesive-coated urethane film that provides a breathable yet tough, protective, waterproof dressing with unsurpassed versatility. It does not require tape or secondary dressing. The exclusive, patented tab system allows for easy application, while maintaining membrane stability. It provides a warm, moist, healing environment that promotes formation of granulation tissue and re-epithelialization.

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:
- Non-adherent.
- 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.
