Ferris PolyMem Adhesive Cloth-Backed Dressing is breathable, adhesive coated cloth backing which is exceptionally comfortable. This dressing is ideal for treating ecchymosis and resolving skin tears caused by friction and shear.
PolyMem has been successfully used in the healthcare setting for many years. No other single wound dressing combines four key wound-healing capabilities like PolyMem. Ferris PolyMemŽ is known worldwide as "The Pink Dressing." PolyMem provides a warm, moist, healing environment that promotes formation of granulation tissue and reepithelialization... and much more. PolyMem Dressings protect the wound as they facilitate the body's natural healing process. PolyMem is LATEX FREE.
How PolyMem's QuadraFoam Works:
PolyMem's QuadraFoam Provides Continual Cleansing
The dressing contains a mild, non-toxic wound-cleansing agent (F-68 surfactant) that is activated by moisture and gradually released into the wound bed. This reduces interfacial tension between healthy tissue and debris, loosens eschar and necrotic tissue, and supports autolytic debridement - all while keeping the wound bed clean throughout healing.
PolyMem's QuadraFoam Encourages Wound Comfort and Health
Glycerin, a moisturizer contained in the dressing, keeps the dressing from adhering to the wound bed and provides comfort at the wound site. Glycerin also reduces odor, conserves living fat cells, reduces hypergranulation, soothes traumatized tissues, and supports autolytic debridement.
PolyMem's QuadraFoam Offers Impressive Wound Wicking Power
The polyurethane membrane matrix wicks away up to ten times its weight in exudate. It will not fragment and leaves no residue in the wound bed.
The superabsorbent starch copolymer in QuadraFoam absorbs and binds the water molecules from the wound fluid, allowing the natural growth factors and nutrients to concentrate in the wound bed.
PolyMem's QuadraFoam Provides Both a Liquid Barrier and Gas Exchange
The semipermeable thin film backing provides a liquid barrier while allowing gas (O2 and CO2) exchange and maintaining an ideal Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR). The transparent film backing allows visual inspection of the membrane to determine the need for a dressing change.

PolyMem's Patented Formulation of Quadrafoam Benefits
PolyMem' s QuadraFoam Streamlines the Process of Treating Wounds.
- With four aspects of wound care in one formulation, PolyMem's QuadraFoam can be used throughout the wound-healing continuum.
- PolyMem's QuadraFoam is also indicated for all wound types (e.g., full and partial thickness wounds, skin tears, ulcers, surgical wounds, first- and second-degree burns).
- PolyMem's QuadraFoam dressings are highly absorbent, allowing up to seven days between changes, depending on the wound status. This can mean a substantial reduction in labor and dressing costs.
- PolyMem's QuadraFoam dressings provide a clear built-in visual indication of when they need to be changed, taking the guesswork out of patient care.
- Because of PolyMem's built-in QuadraFoam cleansing and absorption capabilities, you may be able to change dressings less often and reduce wound bed cleansing during those changes, saving you precious time.
PolyMem's QuadraFoam Creates an Optimal Healing Environment
- PolyMem's formulation of QuadraFoam keeps the wound bed moist and promotes the concentration of the body's naturally produced growth factors, nutrients and regenerated cells in the wound bed. As a result, clinical studies show that PolyMem's QuadraFoam dressings offer quicker wound recovery times than traditional dressings and have been found to help heal wounds that had previously been unsuccessfully treated.
- PolyMem's built-in cleansing capabilities minimize the need for manual wound bed cleansing during dressing changes. Manual cleansing can be harmful, disturbing the wound bed and any surrounding healthy tissue.
PolyMem's QuadraFoam Enhances Patient Comfort
PolyMem's QuadraFoam uses glycerin to soothe traumatized tissues, reducing wound pain and providing comfort at the wound site.
PolyMem's QuadraFoam dressing pad removes with virtually no pain, improving the caregiver-patient interaction and overall care experience.
QuadraFoam, Four-in-One Healing
QuadraFoam dressings effectively cleanse, fill, absorb, and moisten wounds throughout the healing continuum.
QuadraFoam Cleanses
PolyMem's QuadraFoam contains a mild, non-toxic cleansing agent activated by moisture that is gradually released into the wound bed. Built-in cleansing capabilities reduce the need to cleanse wounds during dressing changes, so you can avoid disrupting the growth of healthy tissue as the wound heals.
QuadraFoam Fills
QuadraFoam gently expands to fill and conform to the wound.
QuadraFoam Absorbs
PolyMem's QuadraFoam wicks away up to ten times its weight in exudate.
QuadraFoam Moistens
QuadraFoam keeps the wound bed moist and soothes traumatized tissues, reducing wound pain and providing comfort at the wound site. The moisturizer also keeps the dressing pad from adhering to the wound so it removes with virtually no pain, improving the caregiver-patient interaction and overall care experience.
QuadraFoam Is Ready When You Need It
Built right into a QuadraFoam dressing, these four capabilities are ready when you need them-without incurring extra costs or needing additional supplies.
For example, the absorption capability activates only if the material detects exudate. QuadraFoam adjusts to the wound type to provide the dressing function needed.
QuadraFoam Can Effectively Replace These Wound Dressings
With PolyMem QuadraFoam dressings, you no longer need to rely on multiple wound care products. PolyMem has everything you need in one easy-to-use dressing.
