Because they decrease secondary inflammation, PolyMem use usually results in a stronger, smoother scar. I recommend continuing using PolyMem for the first month of remodeling, or until the area no longer appears inflamed (red, edematous, or weeping).

PolyMem controls inflammation, even over intact skin. Excess inflammation is what causes poor scarring, so controlling inflammation is the key to a smooth, strong ,less noticeable scar.

And not very deep

Thanks for your enquiry. Whilst it is difficult to comment on individual wound scenarios without any patient or clinical history we would like to try and answer your question. PolyMem does not provide negative pressure to a wound like topical negative pressure (vac). It is a membrane dressing with multifactorial components that work synergistically to modulate the inflammatory response and control of pain associated with tissue injury. If you are looking to change from topical negative pressure dressings to an alternative PolyMem could be an option. If you would like any further information and are based in the UK, please contact [email protected] or alternatively please get in touch with the manufacturer.

Thank you for your comment. It's quite difficult to advise on individual clinical cases without further background history. To answer your question - PolyMem Max dressing does not contain any antimicrobial properties (we do a silver PolyMem for this), however PolyMem Max does contain a surfactant within its matrix to cleanse the wound bed and absorb exudate within the dressing. We would therefore not advise using any other dressings under PolyMem as this would prevent the dressing working effectively. If your wound does require an antimicrobial dressing we advise you discuss this with your treating clinical team.

@@hrhealthcareuk7131 mine is identical, same model # with a big old AMERICA flag sticker on top. Maybe the us company is not representing your company well. If its outsourced thats even worst.

Thanks for your comment. Yes this can be used on bedsores on the buttocks.

Hi Steven. Thanks for your question. PolyMem dressings can be in place for when good practice dictates or up to 7 days.

@@hrhealthcareuk7131 Thanks.. I have some on order, should arrive soon.

@@hrhealthcareuk7131 That is NOT correct!!! PolyMem should be changed as soon as the exudate, visible through the dressing's film backing, reaches any of the wound margins. That can be as soon as in half a day for very dirty wounds, or as long as a week in clean granulating wounds. Rather than giving patients a change schedule, I mark the approximate wound margins on the back of the dressing when I apply it, then tell them to change it when the dark color "crosses the line." At that time, the patient or family should simply remove the old dressing, apply a new one, and mark the wound edges on the back so they will know when next to change the dressing.

​@@TheAustinmum can I use a Tegaderm clear adhensive dressing stick on top to keep it in place?. Also I read if wound is dry to wet dressing a little to help it stick? Would using sterile water be fine? Thanks.

​@@Jand4291​@Jand4291 The backing of the dressing is designed to allow exactly the right amount of moisture to evaporate through it. Adding Tegaderm over top messes that up. You can put adhesives along all of the sides, or you can buy a polymem dressing that comes with adhesives already, or you can hold it in place with stretch gauze or elastic netting. Before you use PolyMem for the first time, clean the wound well, then rinse with plain water or saline. Dry the skin around the open wound area, but leave the open wound itself wet. Apply the PolyMem on the wet wound. Change when the darker color that indicates that the dressing is saturated reaches any of the wound borders. You don't want the dressing to stick to the open wound area, because that will damage the fragile new tissue. When PolyMem is changed at appropriate intervals, sticking is not an issue.
