Atrauman Ag 10x10 cm. - Wound contact layer/ointment compress with silver.
Price unit = 1 pk. á 10 pcs.
Description/Usage:
The task of the ointment compress is to prevent the dressing from sticking to the wound and thereby make dressing changes easier for both patients and staff. Atrauman Ag gives the ointment compress another dimension. By adding silver, the ointment compress also has an antibacterial function. It works preventively against wound infections and provides local support for infections that have already occurred.
The thin and soft material is easy to apply and provides good contact with the wound area. The ointment protects the wound edges and keeps them soft. The silver in the compress consists of metallic silver,
which ionizes when it comes into contact with the wound exudate. Atrauman Ag is active against gram-negative as well as gram-positive bacteria including MRSA strains. Atrauman Ag releases small
amounts of silver over a longer period of time (7 days), so as not to risk killing any healthy cells present in the wound area and thereby delay the healing process.
The amount of silver released kills the harmful bacteria present in the wound.
As a complementary measure in connection with the treatment of wounds showing a high bacterial load or for infected wounds . Also as complementary infection prophylaxis in connection with wound treatment.
Contraindications: None known. Since Atrauman Ag does not adhere to the skin, it can be difficult to fix the compress, for example, on the underside of the leg. The easiest thing is to first
put the ointment compress on the secondary dressing and then apply both to the wound.
If no secondary dressing is needed, the ointment compress can possibly fixed with a gauze pad.
< span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Before each treatment of highly bacterial or infected wounds, a medical assessment is necessary. A silver dressing can never replace wound cleaning. The wound must be cleaned if the wound contains necrosis, fibrin or pus formations, otherwise these destroy the function of the dressing. Treatment with a silver dressing can never replace treatment with antibiotics. Atrauman Ag should not be used in combination with paraffin-containing ointments, as they reduce the effectiveness of the dressing.
