PolyMem WIC Cavity Wound Filler

Ferris PolyMem WIC Cavity Wound Filler Features

• Fast Super Absorbent Wicking:
  - Quickly absorbs and holds up to 10 times weight
  - Facilitates management of cavity wounds
  - Expands up to one-third as wound fluid is absorbed
  - Should be cut one-third smaller than the wound, because it will expand when it absorbs wound exudates
  - Soft and pliable, conforming to wound shape
• Non-Adherent:
  - Will not stick to the wound bed while maintaining the integrity of healing tissue
  - Will not dehydrate wound bed
  - Easy, pain-free application and removal
  - Use any of the other appropriate PolyMem or Shapes by PolyMem configurations as a secondary dressing to cover the wound filler
• Continuous Cleansing:
  - Reduces the need to cleanse wound bed during dressing changes
  - Minimizes pain and disruption of newly forming tissues often associated with wound bed cleansing
• Moisture Balancing:
  - Polymeric membrane establishes and maintains a clean and moisturized wound bed
  - Moisture-balancing actions of the PolyMem WIC cavity wound filler are able to absorb impressive amounts of moisture and deliver moisture as demanded by the exposed tissues in the wound
• Wide Range of Application:
  - Perforated for ease of use and can be cut to size
  - Will donate moisture or absorb exudate, depending on the condition of the wound bed and fluid level in the dressing
  - Relieves wound pain and reduces the spread of inflammation into surrounding uninjured tissues without interfering with the robust localized inflammatory response required for healing
  - Clinician can add sterile water or saline to make the dressing a faster moisture donor or can allow the dressing to draw fluid to the site as it absorbs fluid into it
  - Used on wounds with shallow depths in combination with other secondary dressings in order to increase absorption
  - Helps relieve wound pain and improve comfort
  
• Cost Effective:
  - Saves time and supplies by usually eliminating the need to cleanse the wound bed during dressing changes
  - Dressing changes are easy - remove old PolyMem WIC cavity filler dressing and apply new
  - Removes intact - no flushing or rinsing of debris is usually necessary
  - Saves time and money by often reducing the number of dressing changes while extending the time between changes
• PolyMem dressings can effectively replace common categories of cavity dressings, which include:
  - Alginates
  - Hydrogels
  - Foams
  - Gauze
