Benefits
Highly absorbent
In-vitro studies and clinical experience, both demonstrate that as healing progresses,Allevyn 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 healing to progress without the need for frequent dressing changes.
Promotes early healing due to moist wound environment
Allevyn Heel allows the formation and maintenance of a moist wound healing environment at the wound surface, reducing the risk of eschar formation and promoting rapid and trouble free healing.
Designed to fit the heel
Allevyn Heel dressing is designed to gently fit around the back of the foot allowing the wound to be dressed and maintaining a moist wound healing environment.
