Description

Atrauman Silicone is an advanced wound contact layer developed by Paul Hartmann to enhance patient comfort and care. This soft, thin, and highly flexible dressing is designed to minimize trauma and pain during dressing changes, making it an ideal choice for sensitive or fragile skin.

Key Features

• Non-Adherent Design: Crafted from a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) mesh, Atrauman Silicone is coated with a polydimethylsiloxane-based silicone gel on both sides. This ensures that the dressing does not stick to the wound bed, underlying tissues, or secondary dressings.

• Exudate Management: The open weave structure allows wound exudate to pass through to a secondary dressing, maintaining a clean wound environment.

• Transparent and Customizable: The transparent nature of the dressing allows for easy monitoring of the wound, and it can be cut to size, providing versatility in application.

Indications for Use

Atrauman Silicone is suitable for a variety of wounds, including:

• Superficial, acute, and chronic wounds with slight to moderate exudation
• Skin tears, donor sites, grafts, and traumatic wounds
• Non-exuding wounds or sensitive skin as a protective layer

It can serve as a primary dressing in conjunction with an absorbent secondary dressing and is beneficial in negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) by protecting organs and sensitive structures.

Application Guidelines

• Preparation: Ensure the wound is clean and dry before application. Select a dressing size 1–2 cm larger than the wound, and use sterile technique.

• Secondary Dressing: A secondary absorbent dressing is required, with a suggested wear time of up to 7 days.

Available Sizes

Atrauman Silicone is available in various sizes, including:

• 5 cm x 7 cm
• 7.5 cm x 10 cm
• 10 cm x 20 cm
• 20 cm x 30 cm

Each size is offered in packs of 5 or 10, catering to different clinical needs.

Important Considerations

• Single Use and Sterility: Each dressing is individually sealed and intended for single use by professional healthcare providers.

• Allergy Precautions: Not recommended for patients with known allergies to silicone or its ingredients.

Though discontinued by some suppliers, Atrauman Silicone may still be available while stocks last, continuing to provide a reliable solution for wound management in clinical settings.
