PolyMem® Silicone Border dressings combine the patented polymeric membrane formulation of standard PolyMem® dressings with a gentle silicone adhesive border for fragile, sensitive skin. Also available in antimicrobial silver versions.
• Protects periwound tissue
• Silicone adhesive does not come in contact with the wound
• Designed to minimize trauma by not sticking to the wound
• Allows for removal and repositioning if needed
• Minimizes the risk of edges rolling, thanks to a rounded border and thin edges
• Effectively cleanses, fills, absorbs and moistens wounds throughout the healing continuum
• Helps control inflammation, reduce pain and increase healing
• Also available in antimicrobial silver configurations
PolyMem® Silicone Border is indicated for the majority of wounds (e.g., full- and partial-thickness wounds, skin tears, ulcers, surgical wounds, and first- and second-degree burns).
