Technology
ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive utilises the unique triple action technology seen across the ALLEVYN range of dressings. By combining an absorbent hydrocellular pad with a non-adherent wound contact layer and breathable top film; the dressing manages fluid to maintain optimal moist wound healing conditions.
Breathable Top Film
The outer polyurethane top film is highly breathable, helps to prevent strikethrough and provides an effective barrier to bacteria.
Highly Absorbent Foam Core
