There are many times when the best patient care demands a combination of virtues in the same dressing: high absorbency, conformability, secure self-adhesion as well as waterproof and bacteria-proof performance.
ALLEVYN Adhesive, with its unique triple-layer formation, has been designed to achieve this combination to ensure optimal fluid handling to support moist wound healing. ALLEVYN Adhesive is an economically-efficient dressing specifically designed to manage chronic or acute exuding wounds.
- The unique triple-action technology helps to maintain an optimal balance in fluid creating a moist wound environment for healing
- The low-allergy adhesive helps to keep the dressing securely in place without adhering to the wound
- The highly breathable top film helps to minimise the risk of maceration to the wound and peri-wound
- Provides an effective barrier function to exogenous bacteria as well as helping to prevent fluid and bacterial strikethrough
- Easy to apply and remove
- Conforms to body contours and is very comfortable for patients
- Available in a wide range of sizes which can be cut to fit awkward areas such as elbows and heels
- Sacral sizes available which combine the same high-absorbency and secure self-adhesion in an anatomically-shaped dressing.
