The PolyMem Silver Finger/Toe Dressing is a uniquely designed roll-on dressing that delivers fast, comfortable, and effective care for both open and closed finger and toe injuries. With its antimicrobial small-particle silver, hydrophilic polyurethane membrane, and semi-permeable film backing, it helps control bioburden, reduces pain and inflammation, manages exudate, and promotes an optimal healing environment. Whether treating abrasions, sprains, swelling, or wound-related pain, this dressing provides easy, reliable protection and continuous wound support.

Features & Benefits

• High-purity silver particles create an antimicrobial environment.
• Kills up to 99.9% of bacteria it contacts.
• Silver ions distribute across the wound bed as moisture is absorbed.
• The hydrophilic membrane absorbs up to 10× its weight in fluid.
• Draws moisture into a gel-like state for effective exudate handling.
• Maintains a moist wound environment for comfort and healing.
• The built-in cleansing agent activates with moisture to help loosen necrotic tissue.
• Minimizes the need for manual wound cleansing during changes.
• Helps protect new tissue and reduce maceration.
• The smooth roll-on design makes application fast and simple.
• Conforms without adhering to the wound.
• Allows clean, painless removal.
• Helps reduce edema, bruising, swelling, and overall pain.
• Thin, clear film backing provides visibility during wear.
• Helps prevent outside contaminants from entering.
• Dressing does not need moistening before application.
• Can be worn alone or used as a secondary dressing.

Additional Features

• Sterile and latex-free.
• Made of hydrophilic polyurethane foam.
• Non-adherent for gentle removal.
• Can remain in place up to 7 days depending on exudate levels.
• Replaces alginates, hydrogels, hydrocolloids, transparent films, polyurethane foams, silicone foams, and traditional gauze.

How to Apply

1. Cleanse and prepare the injury or wound as directed.
2. Select the correct size.
3. Roll the dressing gently over the finger or toe until the site is fully covered.
4. Smooth into place; no wetting is required.
5. If used as a secondary dressing, apply over the primary wound dressing.
6. Change according to exudate levels or clinical guidance.
