Gauze, a tried-and-tested dressing material, is still preferred today thanks to its versatile applications for making individual bandage pieces and wound dressings. HARTMANN gauze is available for this purpose in various widths and different thread counts.

The purity, absorbency and properties of HARTMANN gauze comply with EN 14079-VM and are continuously monitored under scientific supervision.

Application:
For making individual bandage pieces; as a universal wound dressing, e.g. for initial treatment.

Characteristics:
Gauze EN 14079-VM; available in different thread counts, folded in zigzag layers to a width of 10 cm and supplied by the metre in 40 m lengths.

Atrauman is an ointment dressing that effectively supports wound healing in all phases and, thanks to the specific benefits of the material components used, ensures atraumatic wound care.

Application:
For general wound care, in particular to keep wound surfaces and wound edges supple, e.g. for abrasions or lacerations as well as burns or scalds; in plastic and cosmetic surgery, for nail extractions, phimosis operations, etc.; to cover donor and recipient sites in skin grafting; also ideal in dermatology and for patients with sensitive skin or sensitivity to medicines.

Characteristics:
The thin, soft mesh tulle made of hydrophobic polyester fibres with a smooth surface structure inhibits tissue ingrowth into the dressing and thus counteracts the tendency to adhere to the wound.

The non-adherent effect of Atrauman is additionally supported by the ointment impregnation, allowing gentle dressing changes.

Atrauman keeps wound surfaces and wound edges supple and protects the wound from drying out. It helps prevent problematic scar contractures.

The ointment base itself is gas-permeable and permeable to exudate. This ensures sufficient air supply to the wound and rapid transport of excess exudate. For absorption of exudate, an absorbent pad should be applied over Atrauman.

The ointment base contains no added petroleum jelly or other paraffins. There are no ointment residues that are difficult to remove. The condition of the wound can be assessed reliably and cleaning is made easier.

The ointment base contains no active substances and is non-sensitising. Therapeutically active substances can be added in a targeted and safe manner at the physician’s discretion.

Cosmopor Strip is a hypoallergenic wound dressing made of soft nonwoven material with a synthetic rubber adhesive and a highly absorbent wound pad. It is ideal for the treatment of minor injuries in patients with particularly sensitive skin.

Application:
For the treatment of minor injuries, especially on joints and conical body parts; for patients with sensitive skin or on particularly sensitive areas of the body. When applying, ensure the skin is dry and clean.

Characteristics:
The soft, highly absorbent wound pad is covered with a microperforated polyethylene layer, which reliably prevents it from sticking to the wound.

Thanks to the striped application of the synthetic rubber adhesive and the high air and water vapour permeability of the nonwoven material, Cosmopor Strip is breathable and particularly skin-friendly.

The wound dressing adheres securely, yet can be removed painlessly and without residue.

Due to the elasticity of the nonwoven material, Cosmopor Strip can be well adapted to conical body parts.

Cosmopor I.V. is a self-adhesive, sterile cannula fixation dressing made from hypoallergenic, skin-friendly materials with a non-adherent wound pad. It ensures reliable fixation of the indwelling venous cannula and provides a secure wound dressing.

Application:
For sterile wound care of the puncture site while simultaneously fixing the indwelling venous cannula.

Characteristics:
The soft carrier nonwoven is permeable to air and water vapour, so the natural skin functions are not impaired by Cosmopor I.V.

Thanks to its special coating, the integrated wound pad prevents sticking to the puncture site.

With its special shape and the wide surrounding adhesive area that seals securely, Cosmopor I.V. is easy to apply and ensures safe and reliable fixation of the cannula.

An additional, separate cushioning pad offers the patient reliable protection against pressure marks caused by the indwelling cannula.

Rounded corners prevent the carrier nonwoven from rolling up, even during prolonged wear.

Coated with a hypoallergenic adhesive, Cosmopor I.V. is particularly skin-friendly and is also suitable for sensitive skin.

Plaster made of soft, highly elastic nonwoven fabric, with high air and water vapour permeability; for covering the puncture site after injections in patients with particularly sensitive skin.

Application:
For covering minor injuries in patients with sensitive skin or on particularly sensitive areas of the body. When applying, ensure the skin is dry and clean.

* Further DermaPlast wound plasters are available in the first-aid range.

Characteristics:

ES dressings are 17-thread gauze swabs made of absorbent gauze in accordance with EN 14079-VM 17 with folded-in cut edges (= ES). As a classic dressing material with a wide range of applications, they are indispensable in wound care.

Application:
For general wound care, in particular for initial treatment of dirty, infected and heavily exuding wounds; for use as swabs and as dressings for minor surgical procedures.

Characteristics:
ES dressings offer good absorbency, are air-permeable, soft and pliable.

Thanks to the folded-in cut edges, ES dressings can be unfolded several times and used in larger formats without any troublesome frayed edges.

Demand-oriented dressing and pack sizes always allow economical use.

Grassolind ointment dressings are made from a wide-mesh cotton fabric impregnated with an active-ingredient-free, skin-neutral ointment base. They are therefore particularly suitable for wound treatment in dermatology and for patients with sensitive skin or sensitivity to medicines.

Application:
For general wound treatment, in particular to keep wound surfaces and wound edges supple, e.g. for extensive abrasions or lacerations as well as burns or scalds; in plastic and cosmetic surgery, for nail extractions, phimosis operations, etc.; to cover the donor site in skin grafting and to fix split-thickness skin grafts; also ideal in dermatology and for patients with sensitive skin or sensitivity to medicines.

Characteristics:
Branolind keeps wound surfaces and wound edges supple in all phases of wound healing and protects the wound from drying out. Granulation and re-epithelialisation are promoted, and troublesome scar contractures are effectively prevented.

Branolind does not adhere to the wound. Dressing changes are painless. The wound can remain undisturbed.

The wide-mesh gauze tulle allows oxygen to reach the wound and ensures good ventilation. Secretions can drain away freely, preventing moist chambers.

In addition, the gauze tulle can easily be cut into small pieces, e.g. as a secure matrix for split-thickness skin grafts. If required, the ointment dressings can be fixed to healthy skin with sutures.

Any wound-specific therapeutic agents that may be required can be added at any time.
