Hartmann Permafoam Classic Tracheostomy Dressing 8 x 8 cm

Hartmann Permafoam Classic Tracheostomy 8 x 8cm is a sterile, highly absorbent foam dressing designed for peri‑stomal and tracheostomy site care. Engineered to protect the delicate skin around tracheostomy tubes, this low‑adherent foam dressing manages exudate, reduces maceration and supports a moist wound environment for optimal healing and patient comfort.

Key Benefits

  • Highly absorbent polyurethane foam captures and retains exudate to help prevent leakage and maceration.
  • Low‑adherent wound contact layer minimises trauma and pain at dressing changes, supporting atraumatic stoma care.
  • Flexible 8 x 8 cm square conforms around tubes and anatomy for secure peri‑stomal protection.
  • Breathable structure promotes a balanced, moist wound environment that supports healing.
  • Sterile, single‑use dressing suitable for clinical and at‑home tracheostomy management.
Ingredients and Materials

Permafoam Classic tracheostomy dressings are manufactured from a sterile, hydrophilic polyurethane foam with a gentle, non‑adherent wound contact layer and a breathable outer backing. The dressing is free of lint, designed to retain exudate within the foam matrix and to minimise trauma on removal. For full material specification and regulatory information, refer to Hartmann product labelling or contact the manufacturer.

How to Use
  1. Perform hand hygiene and prepare a clean, dry workspace.
  2. Remove the dressing packaging using aseptic technique.
  3. Carefully remove the old dressing and assess the stoma and peri‑stomal skin for signs of infection or irritation.
  4. Cleanse the site as directed by a clinician and allow the area to dry.
  5. Apply the Permafoam Classic dressing over the tracheostomy site, ensuring the foam covers the stoma and surrounding skin. Cut to size if required.
  6. Secure the dressing with appropriate fixation (tape, tracheostomy dressing holder or adhesives) if needed. Change as clinically indicated or when compromised by saturation.
Who It’s For

Permafoam Classic Tracheostomy 8 x 8 cm is suitable for healthcare professionals, carers and patients managing tracheostomy stomas in hospital, community or home settings. It is appropriate for individuals requiring peri‑stomal protection, exudate control and atraumatic dressing changes, including adults and paediatric patients under clinical guidance.

Caution & Storage

Caution: For single use only. Do not reuse dressings. Inspect packaging prior to use — do not use if the sterile seal is broken or the dressing is damaged. Do not apply to heavily bleeding wounds or where a device contraindication exists without clinical supervision. Monitor the site for signs of infection, increased pain, redness or increased exudate and seek medical advice if these occur.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep within manufacturer's recommended temperature range and check the expiry date before use. Follow local clinical guidelines and manufacturer instructions for disposal and handling.
