Description
ALLEVYN Adhesive, with its unique triple layer formation, has been designed to achieve a combination of high absorbency, conformability, secure self-adhesion as well as waterproof and bacteria-proof performance in the same dressing. It 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.
The outer polyurethane top film switches to become more breathable in the presence of exudate. It also helps to prevent strikethrough and provides an effective barrier to bacteria and minimises the risk of cross contamination.
The hydrocellular foam core is highly absorbent, providing absorption capacity for up to 7 days.
The wound contact layer has a low allergy based adhesive which adheres well to intact skin but will not stick to the wound and has a proven low risk of skin irritation.
Features –
- 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.
