Frequently asked questions

Does this dressing help manage wound depth?

Yes. The PolyMem WIC is specifically engineered to expand within the wound bed, which helps fill dead space effectively to prevent fluid collection and ensure thorough contact.

Is there any antimicrobial protection included?

Yes, the dressing is impregnated with silver to provide active antimicrobial protection directly within the wound environment.

How does this dressing handle moisture?

It uses a hydrophilic polymeric membrane matrix that balances moisture levels by keeping the wound bed hydrated while simultaneously absorbing excess exudate.

Is this dressing adhesive or non-adhesive?

This is a non-adhesive dressing without a border, making it ideal for cavity packing where you need to fill voids without sticking to surrounding tissue.

Will this dressing fit into tight spaces?

Yes. It is designed without a backing film, allowing it to expand naturally into irregular wound shapes and cavities to provide complete coverage.

Is the material safe for sterile environments?

Yes, every unit is supplied as a sterile product to ensure it meets the necessary safety standards for clinical wound care.

How many fillers come in a package?

Each unit includes 2 individual sterile dressings.

Can this be used for wounds with heavy drainage?

The hydrophilic membrane is specifically designed to absorb excess exudate while maintaining the moist environment required for optimal healing.

Is it easy to maneuver for packing?

The material features a flexible, sponge-like texture with pre-cut sections, which makes it easier to handle and pack into varied cavity dimensions.

What is the primary material used?

The dressing is constructed from a hydrophilic polymeric membrane matrix, which provides the necessary structure and absorption capabilities for effective cavity wound care.
