Applying Science to the Art of Wound Care and Pain Treatment

The PolyMem formulation was first patented in 1988 by Robert W. Sessions, a former director of biomedical research at Chicago’s Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke’s Medical Center. Ferris Mfg. Corp. and founder, Sessions, have received numerous awards and recognitions for excellence in medical product design and contributions to the medical profession.

Sessions is responsible for numerous inventions, including: one of the first implantable cardiac pacemakers; disposable electrocardiogram electrodes; a disposable bone marrow aspiration needle; a suture-less cannula for open heart surgery; the Hunter-Sessions Vena Cava Occluder (an implant to prevent blood clots in the lungs); and the PolyMem® wound dressings, BabySmooth Diaper Rash Pads, RhinoPak® Nasal Surgery Dressings, as well as Pain Soothing Back Support. Sessions died in April of 2005 and Ferris Mfg. Corp. is now led by his nephew, Dr. Roger Sessions.

What makes PolyMem different?

The LiNA OperåScope™ was designed specifically with the office setting in mind. The convenient single-use design is ready for use out of the box, allowing you to diagnose and treat patients without the constraints of traditional hysteroscopy.

With our goal of reinventing the hysteroscopy experience, our first consideration was patient anatomy and surgeon ergonomics. The LiNA OperåScope™ features a deflected catheter tip to match the natural curvature of the uterus, and an angled handle for surgeon comfort.¹

More Healing…

PolyMem dressings debride and constantly cleanse the wound bed, while also managing exudate. The wound bed will not be disturbed during dressing changes because PolyMem dressings are non-adherent. PolyMem also stimulates healing by drawing fluid (including nutrition and growth factors) to the wound. PolyMem dressings are specifically designed to focus inflammation to where it is needed — in the wound. This helps reduce swelling and pain which helps reduce the risk of infection which support the healing process.

…Less Pain

PolyMem dressings contain a moisturizer that helps keep the dressing from adhering to the wound bed and provides comfort at the wound site. The wound cleanser in the dressing reduces the need for manual (often painful) wound bed cleansing at dressing change, while also facilitating for effective autolytic debridement, which offers an excellent alternative to more painful debridement options. PolyMem dressings often provide relief of persistent wound pain, procedural wound pain relief and reduced pain with activity due to the demonstrated ability of the dressings to focus the inflammation response.

PolyMem dressings Made Easy

As healthcare budgets are put under pressure, providers increasingly need to balance reduced cost with providing high-quality outcomes. This has led to more wounds being treated in the community, creating a need for non-specialists to acquire knowledge about advanced wound care products….

Wound inﬂammation and the role of a multifunctional polymeric dressing

Temporary inflammation is a normal response in acute wound healing. However, in chronic wounds, the inflammatory phase is dysfunctional in nature. This results in delayed healing, and causes further problems such as increased pain, odour and high levels of exudate production. It is i…

Defining a holistic pain-relieving approach to wound care via a drug-free polymeric membrane dressing.

Wound care practice continuously demonstrates that healing cannot be adequately controlled if a patient’s experience of pain is not managed effectively. Current pain management guidelines do not account for the holistic treatment of pain emanating from a wound…
