Product Information

Full details

The Hartmann Atrauman Tulle Dressing (10cm x 20cm) is designed for healthcare professionals and individuals managing superficial acute and chronic wounds. Its key benefit is providing atraumatic, near-painless dressing changes due to its non-adherent, triglyceride-impregnated polyester mesh. A potential caveat is that it requires a secondary dressing, as it is a wound contact layer.

FAQs

Is Atrauman Tulle Dressing medicated?

No, the Hartmann Atrauman Tulle Dressing is non-medicated. It is impregnated with neutral triglycerides (fatty acids) to maintain a moist wound environment and prevent adherence, but it does not contain active pharmaceutical ingredients.

How often should I change the dressing?

Dressing change frequency depends on the wound's exudate level and the type of secondary dressing used. Typically, it is recommended to change the dressing every 1 to 3 days, or as advised by your healthcare professional.

Can Atrauman be used on infected wounds?

Atrauman is suitable for all wound types, including superficial infected wounds, provided it is used as part of a comprehensive infection management plan and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It does not have inherent antimicrobial properties.

What does 'atraumatic' mean in this context?

Atraumatic means the dressing is designed to cause minimal pain or tissue damage during application and removal. The non-adherent nature of Atrauman ensures it can be removed without sticking to the healing wound bed.

Does this dressing contain Vaseline or Paraffin?

No, the Hartmann Atrauman Tulle Dressing is formulated with neutral triglycerides and does not contain Vaseline or Paraffin.

Can I cut the dressing to fit my wound?

Yes, the dressing is thin, soft, and drapable and can be cut to the required size using sterile scissors to ensure optimal coverage of the wound bed.

How should I store the dressing?

Store the dressing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the packaging remains intact until use.

Troubleshooting

Dressing adheres to the wound.

Ensure the dressing is adequately impregnated with triglycerides and that the wound bed is not excessively dry. If adhesion occurs, do not force removal; moisten the dressing slightly with sterile saline solution before attempting removal.

Exudate leakage from secondary dressing.

Increase the absorbency of the secondary dressing or change dressings more frequently. The Atrauman layer itself does not absorb significant amounts of exudate.

Skin irritation around the wound.

Ensure the correct size dressing is used and that the secondary dressing is not too tight. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes.
  • Prevents adherence to the wound bed, protecting new tissue.
  • Keeps wound edges soft and supple, aiding healing.
  • Allows passage of exudate and air, preventing maceration.
  • Sterile and individually packaged for infection control.
  • Can be cut to size for a precise fit.

Cons

  • Requires a secondary dressing to absorb exudate.
  • Non-medicated, so it does not provide active antimicrobial properties.
  • Polyester mesh may not be suitable for all wound types without clinical assessment.
  • Requires sterile technique for cutting if size adjustment is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Clean and dry the wound area thoroughly according to clinical guidelines.
  2. Carefully open the sterile packaging using aseptic technique.
  3. If necessary, cut the dressing to the required size using sterile scissors.
  4. Apply the Atrauman dressing directly to the wound surface, ensuring it lies flat and covers the entire wound bed.
  5. Cover the Atrauman dressing with an appropriate secondary dressing (e.g., sterile gauze, absorbent pads) to manage exudate.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for superficial acute and chronic wounds.
  • Ideal for use on sensitive skin, burns, abrasions, and post-surgical wounds.
  • Compatible with most standard wound care protocols.
  • Can be used in conjunction with topical medications applied *underneath* the Atrauman dressing, provided they do not interfere with the triglycerides or wound bed.

Care and Storage:

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
  • Do not reuse. Atrauman dressings are for single use only.
  • Check packaging for integrity before use; do not use if packaging is damaged.
  • Dispose of used dressings according to local healthcare waste regulations.
