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. The unique triple action technology helps to maintain an optimal balance in fluid creating a moist wound environment for healing. 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. 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 outer, pink layer used on Allevynnon-adhesive dressings is a breathable film. This allows the formation and maintenance of a moist wound healing environment.

A gentle silicone adhesive dressing, providing a moist wound environment for healing and available in a range of shapes and sizes for challenging areaThere are many times when best patient care demands a combination of virtues in the same dressing: high absorbency, conformability, secure self-adhesion as well as waterproof and bacteria-proof performance. Provides an effective barrier function to exogenous bacteria as well as helping to prevent fluid and bacterial strikethrough. Rafter L, Reynolds T, Rafter M. An audit of patient outcomes in the management of skin tears using silicone dressings. Wounds UK. 2016;12(2):70-78. Prepare and clean the skin surrounding the wound area and remove excess moisture.
