PolyMem Surgical Silver Adhesive Film Pad Dressings are engineered to support post-operative healing by focusing inflammation precisely where it is needed—within the operated tissues. This helps reduce pain, swelling, and infection risk while maintaining an optimal healing environment. With higher fluid-handling capability and a unique ability to cleanse, fill, absorb, and moisten the wound, PolyMem Surgical Silver Dressings provide comprehensive wound support whether healing by primary or secondary intention.

Features & Benefits

• Moistens: Maintains a moist wound bed to prevent adherence, allowing for virtually pain-free dressing removal.
• Fills: Gently expands and conforms to the wound so the site continuously receives the benefits of the dressing.
• Absorbs: Wicks away up to 10× its weight in exudate, concentrating natural growth factors and nutrients at the wound site.
• Protects from Contamination: Semi-permeable polyurethane film backing helps prevent outside contaminants from entering the dressing or wound.
• Cleanses: The built-in cleansing agent activates with moisture and releases into the wound bed, reducing the need for manual cleansing during dressing changes.
• Relieves Pain & Swelling: Helps inhibit the nociceptor response, reducing persistent and procedure-related pain, inflammation, and swelling.

How to Apply

1. Clean and prepare the wound according to standard clinical protocol.
2. Select the appropriately sized PolyMem Surgical Silver dressing.
3. Apply the dressing directly over the wound or incision site.
4. Ensure the adhesive film seal is fully secured around the edges for proper protection.
5. Confirm the dressing is smooth, without air gaps, to maintain moisture balance and waterproof performance.
6. Leave in place up to 7 days, or change sooner depending on exudate levels.
