Wound infection can significantly compromise patient well-being and place heavy burdens on healthcare economies. The Allevyn Ag dressings have been designed to combine the essential qualities of the ALLEVYN range with the added antimicrobial activity of silver.
The unique tri-layer construction of the dressings enables optimal fluid handling to support moist wound healing and the addition of SSD to the foam pad provides a broad spectrum bacterial kill in-vitro. The dressings are comfortable for patients, conform to body contours and are easy to apply and remove.
Allevyn Ag Gentle is a highly absorbent antimicrobial dressing with a soft gel gentle adhesive to enable easy application under secondary retention including compression.
All of the Allevyn Ag dressings combine the physical qualities of the Allevyn tri-layer construction with the antimicrobial activity of SSD. Proven in vitro against a broad spectrum of bacteria including antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as Pseudomonas, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus (VRE) the ALLEVYN Ag range provides a sustained action with antimicrobial properties remaining effective for up to 7 days in-vitro.

- Full and partial-thickness wounds such as pressure ulcers, leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers
