Hartmann Atrauman Dressing - 5 x 5cm (50)

Atrauman Dressing from Hartmann are non-medicated polyester mesh dressings used for atraumatic wound care. 

This dressing features a pore size of 1mm, designed to prevent granulation tissue from penetrating the material.

This together with the smooth surface structure effectively counteracts adhesion to the wound by preventing new tissue from penetrating the wound dressing, whilst allowing exudate to pass through. This results in a wound dressing that allows painless dressing changes with minimal disturbance of the wound.

Atrauman's thin, soft fabric weave can be cut into size and is drapable. Impregnation with neutral triglycerides keeps wound edges soft and supple, avoiding contraction of scar tissue, whilst contributing to the wound contact layer's non-adherent properties.

The neutral ingredients also leave the wound free of residues associated with paraffin and Vaseline.

Individually wrapped and sterile.

Atrauman Dressing can be used on a variety of acute and chronic wound types:

• Minor burns and scalds.
• Skin tears and incisions.
• Chronic wounds (ulcers).
• Infected wounds.
• Abrasions.
• Exuding wounds.

How do you apply Atrauman Dressing?

Take the dressing out of the peel pack with both product covers in place and, if needed, cut it with sterile scissors to the size of the wound.

After removal of one of the product covers, place this side of the dressing onto the wound and remove the second cover.

Place a sterile, absorbent dressing pad over the Atrauman dressing to absorb exudate.

Unless otherwise prescribed by the physician or another healthcare professional, apply a new Atrauman dressing at each dressing change.

The wear time of the dressing depends on the condition of the wound and the level of exudate.

Note: If there are therapeutic reasons for not changing the dressing, the ointment may be absorbed when left in place for a longer period of time. In this case possible wound adhesion which may occur can be eliminated by placing a second Atrauman dressing over the first one.
