Allevyn adhesive, with its unique triple layer formation, has been designed to achieve this combination ensuring optimal fluid handling to maintain a moist wound environment. Allevyn adhesive dressing is an economically-efficient dressing specifically designed to manage chronic or acute exuding wounds. Allevyn adhesive consists of a highly absorbent hydrocellular foam pad held between an adhesive perforated wound contact layer and a highly permeable outer top film.

• Moderate
• Up to 7 days
• The unique triple action technology helps maintain an optimal balance in fluid which helps to maintain a moist wound environment
• The non-sensitizing adhesive 3 helps keep the dressing securely in place without adhering to the wound
• The highly breathable top film helps to minimize the risk of maceration to the wound and periwound
• Provides an effective barrier function to exogenous bacteria as well as helping to prevent fluid and bacterial strike through
• Easy to apply and remove
• Conforms to body contours and is very comfortable for patients
• Breathable top film: The outer polyurethane top film switches to become more breathable in the presence of exudate. It also in the prevention of fluid and bacterial strikethrough and provides an effective barrier to bacteria and minimizes the risk of cross contamination
• Highly absorbent foam core: The hydrocellular foam core is highly absorbent, providing absorption capacity for up to 7 days
• Non-adherent wound contact layer: The wound contact layer has a non-sensitizing adhesive3, which adheres well to intact skin, is non-adherent to the wound and has a proven low risk of skin irritation
• The unique triple layer technology effectively manages exudate, helping to ensure that the wound is kept at optimum moisture levels to maintain a moist wound environment
• Allevyn Adhesive dressings are indicated for use on: Shallow, granulating wounds, chronic and acute exudative wounds, full and partial thickness wounds such as pressure, ulcers, leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers, infected wounds, malignant wounds, surgical wounds, first and second degree burns, donor sites, fungating wounds

Cleanse wound in accordance with local clinical protocol. Select an appropriate dressing size. Allevyn adhesive can be cut to dress wounds on the heel, elbows and other awkward areas. Prepare and clean the skin surrounding the wound area and remove excess moisture. Any excess hair should be clipped to ensure close approximation to the wound. Skin-prep wipes may be used prior to application of Allevyn adhesive where fragile skin is involved. Remove one of the protector films from Allevyn adhesive and anchor the adhesive side of the dressing to the skin. Remove the remaining protector film and smooth the dressing over the remainder of the wound without stretching, ensuring there are no creases. The pad area of the dressing must be adhered across the entire surface of the wound. If the dressing has been cut, ensure any exposed foam areas are covered with an appropriate film dressing, taking care not to cover the entire dressing. When positioning Allevyn adhesive sacrum, place the narrow end of the dressing a minimum of inches (2cm) above the anal sphincter, then smooth the dressing over the sacrum. Dressing removal: To remove Allevyn adhesive, lift one edge of the dressing and slowly peel back until completely removed from the wound. Sacral dressings should be removed from the top edge and down towards the anus to minimize the potential for faecal contamination.
