Product Information
Full details
The Atrauman Impregnated Tulle Dressing is an essential tool for healthcare providers and patients managing acute or chronic wounds that require non-stick protection. Designed to facilitate atraumatic dressing changes, this polyester mesh protects the wound bed from irritation, though users should note it is a non-medicated product and requires a secondary absorbent dressing to manage wound exudate.

FAQs
Does Atrauman contain medication?
No, Atrauman is a non-medicated, inert polyester mesh designed specifically for mechanical wound protection.
Can I cut this dressing to size?
Yes, you can cut the dressing to fit the specific dimensions of the wound using sterile scissors.
How often should I change the dressing?
The frequency of changes depends on the level of wound exudate and the instructions provided by your healthcare professional.
Is this sterile?
Yes, Atrauman is provided in sterile packaging. Do not use if the package appears damaged.
Can it be used on infected wounds?
It can be used as a contact layer for infected wounds as part of a comprehensive wound management plan, but it will not treat the infection itself.
Troubleshooting
Dressing is sticking to the wound bed
Ensure the wound is not dehydrated; consider applying a moisture-retentive secondary dressing over the mesh.
Granulation tissue is growing through the mesh
Check the pore size requirements for your specific wound type; ensure the dressing is applied with the correct orientation.
Pros and Cons

- Single-use only; cannot be reused after removal
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply, ensure the wound area is properly cleaned and debrided according to your standard clinical protocol. Cut the Atrauman dressing to the appropriate size using sterile scissors if necessary. Apply a single layer of the mesh directly to the wound surface. Cover the mesh with an appropriate secondary absorbent dressing or sterile pad. Because the dressing is non-medicated, it is compatible with most topical treatments and ointments, though you should consult a wound care professional if combining with specialized enzymatic creams. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the sterile packaging remains intact before use.
