Ferris Mfg. Corp., creator of PolyMem®, "The Pink Dressing®," announces the addition of a new product to the PolyMem® family of dressings--PolyMax(TM).
       PolyMax is a thicker version of PolyMem, a hydrophilic polyurethane membrane with semipermeable thin film backing. PolyMax, which is 60 percent more absorbent than low-profile PolyMem, extends time between dressing changes and reduces the number of necessary dressing changes, very important elements for managing deep, extensive wounds.
       The variety of products in the PolyMem, "The Pink Dressing," selection of products is designed to work with the body's wound fluids, which are known to contain natural growth factors and nutrients. All PolyMem products combine superabsorbent elements with moisturizers and cleansers designed to help patients achieve maximum healing capabilities, speeding the healing process and reducing long-term costs.
       Ferris Mfg. Co., based in Burr Ridge, Illinois, offers information on all Ferris products via their website, www.FerrisCares.com.
