Atrauman Non-Adherent Dressing

Description

Atrauman by HARTMANN is a non‑medicated, triglyceride‑impregnated, non‑adherent primary wound contact layer designed to support atraumatic dressing changes. It serves as a protective interface that helps prevent adherence of secondary dressings, allows exudate to pass to an absorbent layer, and keeps wound edges and surrounding skin supple.

Construction and Materials

• Fine mesh/knitted hydrophobic polyester with approximately 1 mm pores
• Impregnated with a neutral triglyceride ointment (not paraffin or petroleum jelly/Vaseline)
• Thin, soft, and drapable; can be cut to size with sterile scissors
• Sterile, individually sealed, single‑use

Key Properties

• Non‑adherent contact layer that minimizes tissue ingrowth and supports atraumatic removal
• Facilitates passage of exudate to a suitable secondary dressing
• Leaves less residue than traditional paraffin gauze formats
• Helps maintain skin suppleness at wound edges

Indications and Intended Use

• Primary contact layer for superficial acute and chronic wounds, including skin tears, abrasions, graft sites, and minor burns
• Suitable for patients with sensitive skin or sensitivities to certain medications
• May be used on infected or colonized wounds as a non‑antimicrobial contact layer with appropriate adjunct management

Exudate Management and Wear Time

• Not an exudate manager; always use with an appropriate absorbent secondary dressing
• Wear time depends on wound condition and exudate level; may remain in place for up to 7 days under a suitable secondary dressing

Application Guidance

• Remove from the peel pack with both protective covers in place
• If needed, cut to wound size with sterile scissors
• Remove one protective cover, place that side on the wound, then remove the second cover
• Always cover with a sterile, absorbent secondary dressing
• Replace at dressing changes per clinical judgment; if adhesion occurs after extended wear due to ointment absorption, place a second Atrauman over the first to release

Contraindications and Precautions

• Do not use in patients with known sensitivity to any dressing components
• Use according to local clinical protocols and practitioner guidance
