From the beginning Allevyn was designed to respond to the human body. Allevyn non-adhesive was the first Allevyn variant. Launched in 1987, it combined patient comfort with the revolutionary triple layer fluid management system that helps to maintain a moist wound environment. Allevyn non-adhesive has withstood the test of time and continues to be an essential for patients and clinicians all over the world. Allevyn non-adhesive utilizes the unique triple action technology seen across the Allevyn classic range of dressings. By combining an absorbent hydrocellular pad with a non-adherent wound contact layer and Breathable top film, the dressing manages fluid to maintain optimal moist wound environment. Allevyn non-adhesive dressings are ideal for fragile and sensitive skin due to the non-adherent wound contact layer and soft, conformable construction. 6 The specially designed Allevyn heel dressing fits closely to the heel area allowing even this most challenging of body parts to be dressed comfortably.

• Moderate
• Up to 7 days
• Breathable top film: The breathable 2 outer polyurethane top film helps to prevent strikethrough and provides an effective barrier to bacteria
• Highly absorbent foam core: The hydrocellular foam core is highly absorbent
• Non-adherent wound contact layer: The wound contact layer will not stick to the wound and is suitable for fragile skin such as that of patients with epidermolysis bullosa
• Unique triple action technology effectively manages fluid to create a moist wound environment
• Highly breathable top film helps to minimize the risk of maceration to the wound and periwound
• Non-adherent wound contact layer means the dressing is suitable for use on fragile skin such as in patients with epidermolysis bullosa
• Soft and comfortable for the patient and conformable to challenging body areas
• The "cup" design of the Allevyn heel dressing was designed to conform to these awkward areas like heels and elbows
• Easy to apply and remove
• The backing film provides an effective barrier function to exogenous bacteria as well as helps to prevent fluid strike through and assists in preventing bacterial strike through
• Wide range of sizes that can be cut to suit different body contours
• Suitable for use under compression bandaging
• Allevyn heel can contribute to a pressure relieving protocol when used prophylactically
• Allevyn non-adhesive dressings are intended 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 ulcers, oncological wounds, epidermolysis bullosa wounds

Cleanse wound in accordance with local clinical protocols. Select an appropriate dressing size. Allevyn Non-Adhesive can be cut to fit awkward areas. Always use a clean technique when cutting the dressing. When used under compression therapy, the dressing must be cut to the size of the wound. 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. Remove Allevyn non-adhesive from the pack using a clean technique. Apply the white face to the wound ensuring good contact and secure with a dressing retention sheet (e.g. OpSite Flexifix transparent film roll), tape or bandage. 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. Dressing removal: To remove Allevyn non-adhesive, remove the retention dressing or bandage and lift the dressing away from the wound.
