How should I apply PolyMem?

Applying PolyMem dressings is a straightforward process, but it is important to follow certain steps for optimal results. First, ensure that the wound area is clean. Gently rinse the wound with saline solution or clean water to remove any debris, then pat the area dry with a clean, soft cloth. When you are ready to apply the PolyMem dressing, choose the appropriate size to cover the entire wound while extending at least one inch beyond the edges. Peel off the release liner and position the dressing in place, ensuring it adheres properly to the skin. If necessary, you may use additional tape or a secondary dressing to secure the PolyMem dressing, particularly for larger wounds or if the dressing needs to be maintained in a specific position. Once applied, it is advisable to monitor the dressing for signs of saturation, leakage, or any adverse reactions. Depending on the nature of the wound and drainage, PolyMem can typically be left in place for several days, but regular inspection is essential.
