Allevyn Adhesive

Adhesive hydrocellular dressing

ALLEVYN Adhesive, with its unique triple layer construction, has been designed to achieve this combination, ensuring optimal fluid management to aid moist wound healing. ALLEVYN Adhesive is a cost-effective dressing specifically designed for the management of acute or chronic wounds with exudate.

Indications
ALLEVYN Adhesive dressings are indicated for secondary intention management of:

• Superficial, granulating lesions
• Chronic and acute exuding wounds
• Full or partial thickness wounds such as: pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers
• Tumor lesions
• Surgical wounds
• First and second degree burns
• Withdrawal sites
• Hyperproliferative skin ulcers
• ALLEVYN Adhesive can be used on infected wounds. If the product is used on infected wounds, the infection should be monitored and treated according to local clinical protocol.

How to use
Select an appropriate size dressing. Prepare, cleanse and dry periwound skin. Remove the protective paper and fix the dressing, place the dressing on the wound, completely removing the protective film: make sure that the edges are well adhered to the skin surrounding the wound.
At the start of treatment, Allevyn Adhesive should be checked frequently. The dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days depending on the amount of exudate.
To remove Allevyn Adhesive dressings, lift one corner and remove by pulling back, then rolling the dressing on itself. To facilitate the removal of adhesive dressings, sterile water, saline solution or Remove wipes can be used.

- does not adhere to the wound,

- promotes rapid healing.

Warnings
Do not apply in combination with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite or hydrogen diperoxide solutions, as these products risk damaging the hydrocellular structure. As in the case of other adhesive dressings, excessive sensitivity to Allevyn Adhesive has only rarely been reported in the form of irritation and / or maceration of the periwound skin. Cases of sensitization have rarely been reported.
Too frequent dressing changes or incorrect application, especially in the case of patients with particularly fragile skin, could damage the skin itself. In case of redness or sensitization, stop treatment and consult your doctor.
