Atrauman Ag

Atrauman Ag is a non-adherent wound contact layer suitable for the treatment of chronic wounds, such as ulcus cruris, diabetic leg ulcer and decubitus. It is also suitable for the treatment of acute burns up to 2nd degree. Atrauman Ag is suitable for the treatment on the human skin by professional users.
Support fabric made of polyamide fibres coated with elemental silver. The impregnation is non-medicated and triglyceride based (neutral lipids). The impregnation contains (INCI assigned names): Caprylic/Capric/Myristik/Stearic Triglyceride; Bis-diglycerylpolyacyladipate-2 and Macrogol 2000.
The soft, thin support fabric drapes easily and ensures close contact with the wound base. The fabric’s surface and the impregnation counteract adhesion to the wound; as a result, the dressing supports atraumatic dressing changes. Atrauman Ag acts as a silver-containing barrier dressing. The impregnation protects the wound edges helping to prevent maceration, it is non-medicated, contains no paraffin.
