Frequently asked questions
How does the heart-shape help with healing?
The anatomical heart-shape is specifically engineered for the sacral region. This design ensures a secure, comfortable fit in one of the most difficult areas of the body to dress, providing consistent coverage where traditional rectangular bandages might fail.
Does this dressing help keep the wound clean?
Yes. PolyMem features an integrated wound care technology that continuously releases a mild, tissue-friendly cleanser directly into the wound bed, helping to support the healing process without requiring frequent, painful dressing changes.
Can I use this after surgery?
Absolutely. This dressing is highly effective for post-surgical incision sites. It is designed to help manage the inflammatory response, which can lead to better outcomes and an improved appearance for surgical scars.
Is it breathable for the skin?
Yes, it features a semi-permeable film backing. This provides a protective barrier against external contaminants while allowing for moisture vapor transmission, which helps maintain an ideal, balanced healing environment.
Will it help if the wound is weeping?
Yes, the dressing contains a superabsorbent matrix combined with a moisturizer. This system actively manages exudate (fluid) while ensuring the wound bed stays properly hydrated, which is crucial for the healing continuum.
Is it safe to use on sensitive wounds?
PolyMem dressings are designed to be tissue-friendly. By combining a cleanser, moisturizer, and absorbent material in one, it supports healing while minimizing the irritation often associated with frequent dressing changes.
Does it need a separate bandage over it?
Not necessarily. It is versatile enough to be used as a primary dressing (directly on the wound), a secondary dressing, or in combination with other supplies, depending on the specific needs of the wound care plan.
Is this suitable for home care?
Yes, it is designed for both clinical/hospital settings and home-care use. Its adhesive, all-in-one design makes it a professional-grade solution that is reliable for patients managing sacral wounds at home.
Does the dressing stick well to the skin?
The dressing comes with an adhesive border specifically designed to keep the foam pad securely in place over the sacral area, providing a reliable seal despite the natural movement and curvature of the lower back.
What are the exact pad dimensions?
The total size of the dressing is 7.2 x 7.8 inches, while the active foam pad size is 4.2 x 4.7 inches, providing a generous adhesive border for secure application.
