Atrauman Silicone Sterile Wound Contact Layer Dressing, 8 X 12 Inch

Hartmann Atrauman Silicone Sterile Wound Contact Layer Dressing, 8 x 12 Inch

The Hartmann Atrauman Silicone Wound Contact Layer Dressing is a soft, sterile primary dressing designed to protect the wound bed while supporting undisturbed healing. Coated with transparent silicone on both sides, it gently adheres to the surrounding skin without sticking to the wound itself, making it an excellent choice for individuals managing nonexudating wounds or slightly to moderately exudating wounds. It's ideal for patients, caregivers, and clinicians who want a comfortable, atraumatic dressing that minimizes pain during changes.

This wound contact layer works by creating a protective barrier between the wound and any secondary dressing you place over it. The silicone coating allows exudate to pass through into an outer absorbent dressing while keeping the delicate contact layer in place. Because it's thin, soft, and conformable, it molds easily to the body and stays gentle against sensitive or fragile skin. When it's time to change the outer dressing, the Atrauman layer can often remain undisturbed, helping to reduce trauma to newly formed tissue and lower discomfort for the wearer.

This dressing measures 8 x 12 inches and is available as a Single unit or a convenient Box of 5. It is sterile and used together with a secondary dressing of your choice to manage exudate. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible, so check with your plan administrator. Select your preferred option below to add it to your cart.
