Hartmann 15713119 - Proximel Ag Foam Dressing, Non-Border, 8" x 5", Antimicrobial, Sterile, 5/Box
The Hartmann 15713119 Proximel Ag Foam Dressing is a non-bordered, antimicrobial wound dressing designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Measuring 8" x 5", this sterile dressing incorporates silver ions within its foam matrix to provide continuous antimicrobial activity, helping reduce the risk of infection. Without an adhesive border, it offers flexibility for use with secondary fixation methods such as tape or bandages, making it highly adaptable to various anatomical locations and dressing protocols.
Engineered for wound environments requiring both antimicrobial protection and high absorbency, this dressing is trusted by clinicians for use in hospitals, long-term care, and advanced wound clinics.

Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to similar non-bordered silver foam dressings, Hartmann 15713119 provides superior conformability and fluid handling without compromising antimicrobial action. Many other products in the category lack its optimized moisture vapor transmission or advanced layered foam technology, which helps balance exudate absorption with comfort and breathability.

Fragile skin or irregularly contoured areas where bordered dressings are difficult to use
Cases requiring customizable fixation or placement under compression wraps
Long-term wound care requiring infection prevention and moisture management
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store in a cool, dry area. Always handle with clean, gloved hands to maintain sterility. Inspect the dressing during each wound care session to ensure continued performance. When using with secondary dressings, ensure proper sealing to maintain a stable environment. Avoid overlapping multiple dressings unless directed by clinical protocol.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This product complies with global safety and sterilization standards. The use of ionic silver ensures ongoing antimicrobial activity without cytotoxic effects, supporting safe application across a variety of patient profiles.
