Atrauman is a non-medicated tulle dressing consisting of a water repellent polyester tulle impregnated with neutral oil (fatty acids) and does not contain paraffin, it is conformable, non-adherent and permeable to wound exudate. The ingredients have been developed to avoid skin irritation or sensitization and
are designed specifically for atraumatic wound care. Atrauman has many characteristics that make it an ideal dressing choice in a number of clinical scenarios, including: pain free removal; promotion of healthy granulation tissue; cost effectiveness and versatility. It has also been shown to be a useful dressing when
managing scar formation. This usefulness in avoiding scar formation allows the practitioner to apply a dressing that is appropriate in the short, medium and longer term.
