ALLEVYN Adhesive Foam Dressings by Smith & Nephew

•ALLEVYN Plus Adhesive has the capacity to absorb and hold high to extra high levels of exudate. It holds up to 50% more exudate than ALLEVYN Adhesive, both with and without compression. ALLEVYN Plus Adhesive can stay in place for up to 7 days, taking into account local clinical protocols. The wound contact layer of ALLEVYN Plus Adhesive is coated with a low allergy adhesive which adheres well to intact skin, will not stick to the wound and has a low risk of skin irritation. ALLEVYN Plus Adhesive dressings allows the formation and maintenance of a moist wound healing environment at the wound surface, preventing eschar formation and promoting rapid and trouble-free healing. The outer polyurethane layer of ALLEVYN Plus Adhesive prevents strike through of excess exudate from the dressing, minimising the chances of cross contamination and wound infection, therefore enhancing patient comfort and reducing healthcare costs. It also allows the amount of fluid in the dressing to be monitored, as progression of exudate can be seen through the pink top film. ALLEVYN Plus Adhesive dressings absorb exudate and cellular debris, ensuring minimal mess at dressing changes. Dressing changes are therefore easier for the carer and less traumatic for the patient.
