Atrauman

® Features

The fine mesh fabric of hydrophobic, polyester fibers that forms the basis of Atrauman®, has a 1mm pore sizes which prevent granulation tissue from penetrating the wound dressing, minimising pain and trauma on removal.² This together with the smooth surface structure effectively counteracts adhesion to the wound by preventing new tissue from penetrating the wound dressing, whilst allowing exudate to pass through. This results in a wound dressing that allows painless dressing changes with minimal disturbance of the wound.

Atrauman®'s thin, soft fabric weave can be cut into size and is drapable. Impregnation with neutral triglycerides keeps wound edges soft and supple, avoiding contraction of scar tissue, whilst contributing to the wound contact layer's non-adherent properties.² The neutral ingredients also leave the wound free of residues associated with paraffin and Vaseline.
