Atrauman Ag 5 x 5cm Hartmann Online, Stores

Atrauman® Ag is thin, soft and can be cut into size and is drapable. Atrauman® Ag ensures close contact with the whole surface of the wound. Atrauman® Ag supports painless dressing change by minimizing adhesion to wounds.

Atrauman Ag is a non-adherent wound contact layer suitable for the treatment of chronic wounds, such as ulcus cruris, diabetic leg ulcer and decubitus. It is also suitable for the treatment of acute burns up to 2nd degree. Atrauman Ag is suitable for the treatment on the human skin by professional users. Support fabric made of polyamide fibres coated with elemental silver. The impregnation is non-medicated and triglyceride based (neutral lipids). The impregnation contains (INCI assigned names): Caprylic/Capric/Myristik/Stearic Triglyceride; Bis-diglycerylpolyacyladipate-2 and Macrogol 2000. The soft, thin support fabric drapes easily and ensures close contact with the wound base. The fabric’s surface and the impregnation counteract adhesion to the wound; as a result, the dressing supports atraumatic dressing changes. Atrauman Ag acts as a silver-containing barrier dressing. The impregnation protects the wound edges helping to prevent maceration, it is non-medicated, contains no paraffin.

Application:

Take the Atrauman Ag from the peel pack with both cover papers in place and, if necessary, cut it so that it fits the size of the wound by applying sterile conditions. Atrauman Ag should overlap the wound and should be about the same size as the secondary dressing. Remove the cover paper on one side. Either place the free side on the wound and then remove the remaining cover paper (see pictograms 1 – 5) or use sterile tweezers or sterile gloves to pick up Atrauman Ag from the second cover paper and place it on the wound (see pictograms a-f). Atrauman Ag should be applied in a single layer, do not fold or apply in multiple layers. Secure a suitable sterile, secondary dressing (either absorbent or superabsorbent dressings, foam dressings or gauzes e.g. Zetuvit Plus) according to its use instructions over Atrauman Ag to absorb wound exudate. The efficacy of the barrier dressing lasts for up to seven days. Unless otherwise prescribed by the doctor or medically indicated, a new Atrauman Ag dressing should be applied at each dressing change. The wear time of one dressing shall not exceed seven days.
