Atrauman Impregnated Wound Contact Layer Dressing, 4 x 8 Inch

Hartmann Atrauman Impregnated Wound Contact Layer Dressing, 4 x 8 Inch

The Hartmann Atrauman Impregnated Wound Contact Layer Dressing is a sterile, nonadherent wound contact layer designed to protect the wound bed while supporting gentle, atraumatic healing. It's an excellent choice for a wide range of wounds and is especially well suited for patients with sensitive skin or a known sensitivity to medications, thanks to its skin-friendly, nonpetroleum composition.

Atrauman works by placing a soft, low-adherent layer directly against the wound so the dressing lifts away without disturbing newly formed tissue or causing pain at dressing changes. Its coating is a natural, vegetable-based fatty acid composition that keeps the contact layer supple and helps promote a natural healing process. Because it is nonpetroleum, it can be combined with a secondary absorbent dressing to manage exudate while the contact layer protects and cushions the wound underneath.

This dressing measures 4 x 8 inches and comes packaged as a Box of 30 individually sterile dressings, making it convenient for repeated dressing changes at home or in clinical settings. Wear time depends on the condition of the wound and the level of exudate, so change the dressing as directed by your clinician. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible.
