- Highly absorbent
- Waterproof
- Cushioned comfort
Non-irritating adhesive
ALLEVYN Adhesive is coated with a low allergy adhesive
which is designed to adhere well to intact skin, but
not to wounds. The adhesive is non-irritating.
Highly absorbent
ALLEVYN Adhesive dressings can stay in place for up
to seven days. This capacity results from a combination
of properties:
- The perforated wound contact layer allows even viscous
exudate to pass into the dressing.
- The hydrocellular core of the dressing absorbs and
holds liquid in its microscopic structure.
- The breathable outer surface of the dressing allows
excess moisture to evaporate away from the dressing.
- The result is the formation of a wound environment,
which allows wound closure to progress without the
need for frequent dressing changes.
Moist Wound Environment
ALLEVYN Adhesive creates and maintains a moist wound
healing environment at the wound surface.
Secure Dressing
ALLEVYN Adhesive is designed to ensure the dressing
remains securely in place and prevents accidental removal
by friction between the dressing and clothes and bedding.
Waterproof
Aids in the prevention of bacterial contamination
Cushioned comfort
ALLEVYN Adhesive dressings are soft and cushioning,
giving excellent comfort and protection.
