Product Description
ALLEVYN Adhesive Foam Dressings are designed to manage moderate to highly exuding wounds by maintaining a moist healing environment, which promotes faster healing and prevents fluid and bacterial penetration.
Key Features
- Triple-Layer Construction: Combines an absorbent hydrocellular pad between a perforated adhesive wound contact layer and a highly permeable waterproof outer film.
- Secure Adhesion: The low-allergy adhesive ensures the dressing stays in place without adhering to the wound, providing comfort and reducing the risk of skin irritation.
- Extended Wear Time: Can be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the level of exudate and the condition of the wound.
- Waterproof and Bacteria-Proof: The top film prevents fluid and bacterial penetration, reducing the risk of infection.
Indications for Use
Suitable for various wound types, including:
- Shallow, granulating wounds.
- Chronic and acute exudative wounds.
- Full and partial thickness wounds such as pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, malignant wounds, surgical wounds, donor sites, and fungating ulcers.
Application Instructions
- Clean and dry the skin around the wound area.
- Remove one of the protector films from the dressing.
- Anchor the adhesive side of the dressing to the skin, ensuring it covers the wound with at least a 3cm border from the edge of the wound.
- Smooth the dressing over the wound, removing the remaining protector film as you apply it.
Precautions
- Do not use with oxidizing agents such as EUSOL or hydrogen peroxide, as these can break down the absorbent polyurethane component of the dressing.
- Monitor for signs of irritation or sensitization; discontinue use if these occur and consult a healthcare professional.
- Single-use only; do not reuse to avoid cross-contamination or infection.
