Atrauman is an ointment-impregnated dressing that effectively supports wound healing in all phases and, thanks to the specific advantages of the material components used, ensures atraumatic wound care.
Application:
For general wound management, 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, after nail extractions, phimosis operations, etc.; for covering donor and recipient sites in skin grafting; also ideal in dermatology and for patients with sensitive skin and those sensitive 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, enabling gentle dressing changes.
Atrauman keeps wound surfaces and wound edges supple and protects the wound from drying out. It helps prevent troublesome scar contractures.
The ointment base itself is gas-permeable and permeable to exudate. This ensures adequate 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 cleansing is made easier.
The ointment base contains no active ingredients and is non-sensitising. Therapeutically effective substances can be added in a targeted and safe manner at the physician’s discretion.
