PolyMem MAX Silver Non-Adhesive Pad Dressing

How do Polymem Silver Max Dressing Work?

1. They are thicker, so they can soak up more liquid from the wound. This means you can wear them for a longer time without changing them.
2. They have a special film that keeps germs out and helps maintain the right amount of moisture for healing.

To create the best healing environment, each dressing:

• Has a gentle cleaner to keep the wound clean and remove dead tissue.
• Contains a special foam that soaks up wound liquid and turns it into a gel.
• Uses glycerol to prevent the gel from sticking to the wound, control odors, and soften dead tissue.
• Has a film that lets some things through but keeps others out.

PolyMem Max Silver Foam Dressings also have small silver particles that kill bacteria. When the dressing absorbs moisture, it releases silver to keep the wound clean.

How do you apply Polymem Silver Dressing?

To put on PolyMem Max Silver Dressing:

• Get the wound ready, as your doctor says.
• Pick a dressing that's a bit bigger than the wound, about 1/4 to 2 inches more all around.
• Put the dressing with the shiny side out or with the printing on top.
• In the first few days, you might see more liquid from the wound. That's normal and means the dressing is doing its job. You can mark the wound size on the dressing to know when to change it.

Keep the dressing dry while bathing. If it gets wet, change it. Don't use other treatments with PolyMem dressings.

How often should PolyMem Silver dressings be changed?

You should change PolyMem Silver dressings before the liquid from the wound reaches the edge of the dressing. For less liquid in wounds of generally healthy patients, you can keep the dressing on for up to seven days. But if the patient has a weaker immune system, diabetes, or an infection near the wound, it might need to be changed more often.

To change the MAX Silver Pad Dressing:

• Carefully lift the sticky part in the middle of the dressing.
• Take off the dressing from the wound. It shouldn't stick to the wound, so it usually doesn't hurt.
• Don't touch or clean the wound unless it's infected or dirty. The dressing already has a cleaner in it and won't leave anything behind. Cleaning the wound too much can hurt the healing process.
• Put on a new dressing.

Remember, don't clean the wound bed unless it's necessary, and be gentle when changing the dressing.
