Frequently asked questions
Does this dressing help keep the wound clean?
Yes. The dressing features an advanced hydrophilic polyurethane matrix that includes a mild, tissue-friendly wound cleanser. This helps actively maintain a clean environment, supporting the natural healing process at the wound site.
Can I customize the size for specific wounds?
Absolutely. This product is designed in a 4-inch by 24-inch roll format, specifically for those who need to cut the material to an exact, custom size. This versatility makes it ideal for managing wounds of various shapes and locations.
Does this dressing require a secondary cover?
The PolyMem roll is a multi-functional solution that can serve as both a primary and a secondary dressing. Whether it is used alone or as part of a larger dressing protocol depends on the specific severity of the wound and your treatment plan.
Is the material gentle on surrounding skin?
Yes. In addition to the built-in cleanser, the matrix contains a soothing moisturizer designed to keep the area around the wound hydrated and comfortable, reducing potential irritation during the healing process.
How does this dressing manage excess moisture?
The dressing utilizes superabsorbent performance technology. It effectively draws in and manages exudate while the semi-permeable film backing protects the wound from outside contaminants and allows for essential gas exchange.
Is this product suitable for clinical environments?
Yes, it is designed for professional wound care settings and home health care. It is factory new and sterile, meeting the clinical-grade construction standards required for advanced wound management.
Does this dressing contain any adhesive materials?

Is this dressing eligible for FSA usage?
Yes, this PolyMem Foam Dressing is FSA eligible, making it a convenient option for those managing wound care costs through their healthcare spending accounts.
What is the primary material used in this dressing?
The core of the dressing is a high-quality hydrophilic polyurethane foam. This material is engineered for both its absorbency and its ability to provide a consistent, protective barrier over the wound.
Does the backing provide extra protection?
Yes, the exterior features a semi-permeable film backing. This layer serves two key purposes: 1. It acts as a shield against external contaminants. 2. It allows for necessary gas exchange, which is critical for a healthy wound environment.
