How is the product unique? ALLEVYN Life was designed with the input of patients and clinicians from extensive ethnographic research involving clinician interviews and patient observations to gain an in-depth understanding of how dressing design can improve the patient and clinician experience while reducing the economic cost of wound care. The research highlighted the issues facing people who are living with wounds such as dressing retention, leakage of wound fluid, and the unsightly appearance of exudate and wound odor. ALLEVYN Life was designed to help manage these concerns to ensure that wound care patients can live the life they want to live.
