< span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The ointment is not sensitizing and contains neither vaseline, lanolin nor paraffin.
When changing dressings, there is a risk that the wound surface will be torn up again and again. This causes pain, which can lead to a reluctance on the part of the patient to have the dressing changed. To prevent this, Atrauman ointment-compress is used, which can be combined with several different types of dressing to avoid adhesions in the wound. Atrauman content-are triglycerides, which protect the wound from drying out and prevent crust formation. Through its fine-mesh mesh, the ointment compress allows fluid to penetrate from the wound into the secondary dressing.
Since Atrauman does not stick to the skin, it can be difficult to fix the compress f .eg on the underside of the leg. It is therefore easiest to first place the ointment compress on the secondary dressing and then apply both to the wound. If there is no need for a secondary dressing, then the ointment compress may be fixed with a gauze pad.
< span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Properties: The thin, soft grid fabric of hydrophobic polyester fibers has a smooth outer structure which prevents newly formed tissue from growing into the compress . In this way, the tendency to adhesions in the wound is counteracted. No ointment residue is left in the wound, which facilitates cleaning and assessment of the condition of the wound. Atrauman keeps the wound surface and wound edges supple and protects the wound from drying out. The ointment mass is permeable to both air and secretions, which ensures that excess secretions are quickly directed away from the wound. To absorb excess secretions, an absorbent dressing should be applied in combination with Atrauman. Since the ointment mass is completely neutral without the use of active drugs, the compress can even be used in dermatology, as well as for patients who suffer from hypersensitivity to drugs or sensitive skin. After a doctor's prescription, therapeutically effective ointments can be added. Atrauman should be changed with each dressing change, unless the doctor prescribes otherwise.
