HARTMANN Atrauman Ointment compress

Atrauman is an ointment dressing that effectively supports wound healing in all phases and, thanks to the specific benefits of the material components used, ensures atraumatic wound care.

Application:
For general wound care, in particular to keep wound surfaces and wound edges supple, e.g. for abrasions or lacerations as well as burns or scalds, in plastic and cosmetic surgery, for nail extractions, phimosis surgery, etc.; for covering donor and recipient sites in skin grafts; also ideal in dermatology and for patients with sensitive skin or sensitivity to medicines.

Characteristics:
The thin, soft mesh tulle made of hydrophobic polyester fibres with a smooth surface structure inhibits the ingrowth of tissue into the dressing and thus counteracts the tendency to adhere to the wound.

The non-adherent effect of Atrauman is further enhanced by the ointment impregnation, enabling gentle dressing changes.

Atrauman keeps wound surfaces and wound edges supple and protects the wound from drying out. It helps prevent troublesome scar contractures.

The ointment base itself is gas-permeable and permeable to secretions. This ensures sufficient airflow to the wound as well as rapid transport of excess secretions. For absorption of secretions, an absorbent dressing should be applied over Atrauman.

The ointment base contains no added petroleum jelly or other paraffins. There are no ointment residues that are difficult to remove. The condition of the wound can be assessed reliably and cleansing is made easier.

The ointment base contains no active ingredients and is non-sensitising. Therapeutically effective substances can be added in a targeted and safe manner at the physician’s discretion.
