Atrauman Ag is a non adherent wound contact layer that is designed to be used with a secondary dressing.
It is soft and easy to cut into size to fit the wound area more neatly and ensure it covers the wound surface area fully.
Atrauman Ag allows painless and comfortable dressing changes by minimising adhesion to the wound.
Atrauman Ag is a non-adherent wound contact later for the treatment of chronic skin wounds such as ulcers cruris, diabetoc leg ulcer and decubitus. It can also be used to treat acute burns up to 2nd degree.
The dressing is impregnated with elemental silver in the polyamide fibres. The soft thin fabric promotes fabric draping and ensures close contact with wound base. The fabric's surface and silver impregnation prevent adhesion to the wound while the natural antimicrobial properties of silver prevent contamination and growth of bacteria and virus.
Secure a suitable sterile, secondary dressing (either absorbent or superabsorbent dressings, foam dressings) according to its use instructions over Atrauman Ag to absorb wound exudate.

How to apply:
Take the Atrauman Ag from the peel pack with both cover papers in place and, if necessary, cut it so that it fits the size of the wound by applying sterile conditions.
Atrauman Ag should overlap the wound and should be about the same size as the secondary dressing. Remove the cover paper on one side.
Either place the free side on the wound and then remove the remaining cover paper or use sterile tweezers or sterile gloves to pick up Atrauman Ag from the second cover paper and place it on the wound. Do not fold or apply in multiple layers, apply in a single layer only. Secure a suitable sterile, secondary dressing (either absorbent or superabsorbent dressings, foam dressings or gauzes) according to its use instructions over Atrauman Ag to absorb wound exudate.
The efficacy of the barrier dressing lasts for up to seven days. Unless otherwise prescribed by the doctor or medically indicated, a new Atrauman Ag dressing should be applied at each dressing change. The wear time of one dressing shall not exceed seven days.
