Description

PolyMem Finger/Toe Dressing offers a versatile solution for managing a wide range of wounds on fingers and toes. Designed for both open and closed injuries, it is suitable for conditions such as sprains, strains, contusions, abrasions, lacerations, burns, ulcers, surgical wounds, and more. This multifunctional dressing is ideal for both adult and pediatric patients, providing effective care across various wound types.

Key Features

• Multifunctional Wound Care: Continuously cleanses, fills, absorbs, and moistens the wound throughout the healing process.
• Pain Relief: Provides non-pharmacologic pain relief, reducing discomfort and inflammation, and minimizing pain during dressing changes.
• Moisture Management: Maintains an optimal moist environment for healing and supports autolytic debridement.

Advanced Design

The dressing includes a mild, tissue-friendly surfactant that is activated by wound fluid, offering continuous cleansing and reducing the need for manual cleaning. Glycerin in the dressing prevents adherence, soothes tissues, reduces odor, and conserves living fat cells.

• Superabsorbent Properties: The polyurethane matrix can absorb up to ten times its weight in exudate, concentrating growth factors and nutrients in the wound bed.
• Semi-Permeable Film Backing: Allows gas exchange while protecting the wound from contamination.

Easy Application and Removal

Highly conformable, the dressing rolls comfortably onto a finger or toe and can be cut to the desired length. It is non-adherent, ensuring atraumatic removal and minimizing disruption to healing tissues. The absence of natural rubber latex makes it suitable for patients with latex sensitivities.

Variants and Sizes

Available in both standard (pink) and silver versions, the latter offering antimicrobial protection for infected or malodorous wounds. The dressing comes in various sizes, from small to XX-large, accommodating different digit circumferences.

Packaging

Packaged individually or in boxes of six, with five boxes per case, the availability may vary by distributor. This convenient packaging ensures that healthcare providers have the right quantity on hand for effective wound management.

Application Instructions

1. Measure and Cut: Tailor the dressing to the required length.
2. Apply: Roll onto the digit with the film side out.
3. Secure: Use tape or bandaging if necessary.
4. Change Regularly: Replace before fluid reaches the wound margin or after no more than seven days.

Storage and Compatibility

Store in a dry area at room temperature. The dressing is showerproof if adhesive and features a transparent film backing for visual inspection. It should not be used with oxidizing agents or topical creams under the dressing.

PolyMem Finger/Toe Dressing stands out as a comprehensive wound care solution, promoting healing while providing comfort and ease of use for both patients and healthcare providers.
