Benefits: 

• Glycerin contained in the dressing reduces odor, conserves living fat cells, reduces hypergranulation, soothes traumatized tissues and supports autolytic debridement
• Glycerin also keeps the dressing from adhering to the wound bed and provides comfort at the wound site
• Contains a mild, non-toxic wound-cleansing agent that is activated by moisture and gradually released into the wound bed
• Transparent film backing allows visual inspection of the membrane to determine the need for a dressing change
• Semi-permeable thin-film backing provides a liquid barrier while allowing gas exchange
• Polyurethane membrane matrix wicks away up to 10 times its weight in exudate
• Maintains an ideal moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR)

Indications: 

Shapes by PolyMem® Sacral Dressing is designed specifically for use in the sacral region. Use as a combined primary and secondary dressing or as a secondary dressing.
