PolyMem® Dressings are a hydrophilic polyurethane matrix dressing with a mild, non-toxic wound cleanser, a soothing moisturiser, a superabsorbent and a semi-permeable film backing*.

PolyMem® MAX Film Adhesive is the thicker, more absorbent version of the standard PolyMem® Film Adhesive dressing. It combines the proven benefits of PolyMem’s multifunctional polymeric membrane with an ultra-thin adhesive polyurethane film backing.

The ONLY dressing of its kind…When PolyMem® is applied to the wound, the dressing components work individually and synergistically to support wound healing and pain relief¹.

PolyMem MAX Film Adhesive is suitable for a wide range of acute and chronic wounds, including:

1. Select size – choose a dressing with the membrane pad slightly larger than the wound.

2. Prepare wound – cleanse per local protocol if required (PolyMem will continue cleansing after application).

3. Apply – place the dressing film-side out, membrane pad directly over the wound.

4. Secure – additional fixation is not required for adhesive versions; only non-adhesive dressings need secondary fixation.

5. Wear time – change as indicated by exudate levels and local protocols.

NOTE: a dramatic increase in wound fluid may be observed during the first few days due to the fluid attraction. This is not uncommon and indicates that the dressing is working

This module explores the importance of pain management, the mechanism and types of pain, as well as how to assess and manage pain.
