More Healing, Less Pain: PolyMem®

When you choose PolyMem, you're picking a dressing that combines four key wound healing capabilities into one easy-to-use formulation. PolyMem wound dressings cleanse, fill, absorb and moisten wounds throughout the healing continuum. 

How does PolyMem...
  • Cleanse? PolyMem contains a mild, non-toxic cleanser activated by moisture that is gradually released into the wound bed. These built-in cleansing abilities reduce the need to cleanse wounds during dressing changes, so caregivers can avoid disrupting the growth of healthy tissue as the wound heals.
  • Fill? PolyMem gently expands to fill and conform to the wound.
  • Absorb? PolyMem is able to absorb up to 10 times its weight in wound exudates. Depending on wound status, PolyMem allows up to seven days between dressing changes. This can lead to substantially lower labor and dressing costs.
  • Moisten? PolyMem keeps the wound bed moist and contains glycerin to soothe traumatized tissue, reducing wound pain and providing comfort. The moisturizer also helps prevent dressing pads from adhering to the wound, so removal is painless.

PolyMem's family of dressings can be used on all wound types as primary dressings, secondary dressings or both to support the entire healing process. To learn more about PolyMem, visit our website.
