Sacral sizes available which combine the same high-absorbency and secure self-adhesion in an anatomically-shaped dressing Allevyn Adhesive Dressing, with its unique triple layer formation, has been designed to achieve this combination to ensure optimal fluid handling to support moist wound healing. AllevynAdhesive is an economically-efficient dressing specifically designed to manage chronic or acute exuding wounds. Allevyn Non-Adhesive Foam Dressing can contribute to a pressure relieving protocol when used prophylactically Provides an effective barrier function to exogenous bacteria as well as helping to prevent fluid and bacterial strike through.

Smith & Nephew 2018. Volunteer Evaluation of Wound Care Dressing Product Features. Internal Report. AWM/AWC/001/v1. Allevyn’s unique design manages exudate, ensuring optimum moisture levels to promote moist wound healing. This is managed by absorbing and retaining fluid in the hydrocellular foam core and transpiring enough fluid from the outer polyurethane vapour permeable film resulting in a moist wound healing enviroment. Allevyn dressings can be left in place for up to 7 days except for the sacral area where they can be left in place for up to 5 days. Gabriel O. Reducing HAPIs through focusing on Braden Scale subcategories. Poster presented at: National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel Annual Conference. March 1–2, 2019; St Louis, USA. 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. 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.

Allevyn Non-Adhesive foam dressing is highly absorbentnon-adherentantimicrobial foam dressing suitable for compromised skin that can be cut to suit the patient.ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive foam dressing has stood the test of time and continues to be an essential for patients and clinicians all over the world. Remove one of the protector films from ALLEVYN Adhesive and anchor the adhesive side of the dressing to the skin.

Provides an effective barrier function to exogenous bacteria as well as helping to prevent fluid and bacterial strike through Walters B, Jamison K, Zafer D, Sanders T. Transforming Pressure Ulcer Prevention in the ICU with Patient Wearable Technology and Nursing Leadership. Presented at the Texas Organization of Nurse Executives. February 2016. The highly breathable top film helps to minimise the risk of maceration to the wound and peri-wound. It also helps to prevent strikethrough and provides an effective barrier to bacteria and minimises the risk of cross contamination.Stephen-Haynes J, Bielby A, Searle R.

Unique triple action technology effectively manages fluid to create a moist wound healing environment Home | PRODUCTS | Podiatry & Chiropody | Dressings & Woundcare | ALLEVYN NON-ADHESIVE Browse Other Categories: The outer, pink layer used on Allevynnon-adhesive dressings is a breathable film. This allows the formation and maintenance of a moist wound healing environment.

Presented at NPIAP 2020 and WOCN 2020. Pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, and other moderate to heavily exuding wounds requiring optimal fluid management and a moist wound environment. 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.Select an appropriate dressing size. ALLEVYN Adhesive can be cut to dress wounds on the heel, elbows and other awkward areas. Provides an effective barrier function to exogenous bacteria as well as helping to prevent fluid and bacterial strikethrough. 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. Dressing requires changing at 7 days (5 days for sacral variants), unless exudate is within 0.5cm from the edge of the dressing pad - whichever is sooner.
