About FR5044-Box Polymem 4 X 4 Non-adhesive Polymeric Membrane Dressing
What is FR5044-Box Polymem 4 X 4 Non-adhesive Polymeric Membrane Dressing?
This is a 4 x 4 inch (10 cm x 10 cm) non-adhesive polymeric membrane wound dressing from the Polymem family, sold through Diabetesstore as SKU 90178. It is designed as a multifunctional primary dressing that helps cleanse, fill, absorb, and moisten a wound bed in a single product, making it a practical choice for everyday wound care in clinical and home settings.
Key features
- Pad size — 4 x 4 inches, or roughly 10 cm x 10 cm, suitable for moderate-area wounds.
- Non-adhesive contact layer — sits gently against the wound bed so removal does not strip fragile new tissue.
- Polymeric membrane construction — combines absorbency and moisture retention to support a balanced healing environment.
- Versatile primary dressing — works as a stand-alone pad or under compression, tape, or a secondary cover dressing.
- Patient-friendly wear — designed to reduce pain at dressing changes compared with traditional gauze.
- Single boxed unit — supplied as a box from Diabetesstore for predictable stocking and reorder.
Who is FR5044-Box Polymem 4 X 4 Non-adhesive Polymeric Membrane Dressing for?
This dressing is aimed at nurses, wound care clinicians, long-term care staff, and experienced caregivers managing chronic and acute wounds at home. It is a sensible pick for people caring for diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, skin tears, minor burns, or post-surgical sites where a gentle, non-stick interface matters. Because application is straightforward, confident home users following a clinician's plan can also use it without specialized training.
How does FR5044-Box Polymem 4 X 4 Non-adhesive Polymeric Membrane Dressing compare?
Compared with plain gauze pads, this polymeric membrane option typically requires fewer dressing changes and is far less likely to adhere to the wound bed, which can mean less pain and less disruption of healing tissue. Against adhesive-bordered foam dressings, the non-adhesive format is friendlier to fragile or peri-wound skin but needs a secondary fixation such as tape, wrap, or compression. And versus basic hydrocolloid or film dressings, it offers more absorbency and a more active wound-bed interaction, making it better suited to draining or stalled wounds rather than dry, lightly exuding ones.
Best use cases
- →Covering diabetic foot ulcer after debridement
- →Protecting chronic venous leg ulcer during dressing changes
- →Shielding skin graft donor site in post-op care
- →Managing pressure injury on heel in immobilized patients
Is Polymem 4 X 4 Non-adhesive Polymeric Membrane Dressing right for you?
Healthcare professionals treating diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, or pressure injuries should consider the FR5044-Box Polymem 4 × 4 Non-adhesive Dressing.

How it compares: Compared with basic gauze, Polymem’s polymeric membrane offers superior breathability and a non-adhesive surface that reduces dressing changes pain. Against hydrocolloid pads it provides a thinner profile for easier contouring, while silicone dressings may be pricier; Polymem balances cost and wound-care performance.
