PolyMem MAX and PolyMem MAX Silver contain a mild, tissue-friendly cleansing agent that helps maintain a dean wound bed by loosening necrotic tissue, slough and other debris. The hydrophilic polyurethane membrane matrix, containing superabsorbents, draws fluid and debris from the wound bed and swells into a non-adherent gel, which helps reduce the risk of maceration.

Additionally, glycerol (also known as glycerin) helps to ensure non-adherence to the wound bed so that the dressing can be removed without disturbing the healing tissues. Glycerol also helps to control odor while softening non-viable tissue. The membrane is covered by a semipermeable continuous film backing with very high moisture vapor permeability that provides a barrier to liquids.

Polymem Max Dressing Benefits: 

High Fluid Handling:

• Noticeably thicker and greater MVTR’ than standard PolyMem dressings for substantially greater fluid handling capability.
• Holds up to 10 times its own weight.
• Quickly absorbs moisture and wound fluid.
• Locks wound fluid inside the dressing, in a gel form, helping to reduce risk of maceration.
• Saves time and money by reducing the number of dressing changes and extending the time between dressing changes.

Flexible:

• Soft and pliable, conforming to wound shape.

Non-Adherent:

• Will not stick to the wound bed
• Maintains integrity of healing tissue
• Will not dehydrate the wound bed

Functional:

• Automatically donates moisture or absorbs exudate, depending on the condition of wound bed and fluid level in the dressing.
• Clinicians can add sterile water or saline to make the dressing a faster moisture donor, or can allow the dressing to draw fluid to the site as it absorbs fluid into the dressing.
• Helps relieve wound pain, inflammation, edema and bruising while improving comfort.

Continuous Cleansing:

• Reduces need to dense wound bed during dressing changes.
• Reduces disruption of newly forming tissues often caused by manual cleansing.
