Hartmann Atrauman Ag Wound Dressing - 10cm x 10cm

Sold per Box of 10

Atrauman Ag Wound Dressing is coated with metallic silver. The silver is bound chemically, i.e. firmly fixed, to the support fabric. The silver coated support material is impregnated with a water-soluble ointment. A formula was chosen which is very similar to the Atrauman ointment (without silver). Both ointments are "triglyceride" based and contain no Vaseline.

If Atrauman Ag comes into contact with exudate from a wound, silver ions are released from the metallic surface. The quantity of silver ions is relatively small. Consequently, the efficacy of Atrauman Ag is limited to the immediate surroundings. If bacteria come into contact with the dressing, they are destroyed.

Features:

• Effective for 7 days
• Absorbent dressing
• Antibacterially active in combination with secondary dressings
• Suitable for deep wounds
• Silver containing wound contact layer
