Allevyn Non-Adhesive

Non-adhesive hydrocellular dressing

From the very beginning, ALLEVYN was designed with inspiration from the human body. ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive was the first ALLEVYN variant. Launched in 1987, it combined patient comfort with the revolutionary three-layer fluid management system that enables moist wound healing.

Characteristics

ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive has stood the test of time and continues to be essential for patients and clinicians around the world.

• The unique triple action technology manages fluids effectively, creating a moist environment for wound healing
• The highly breathable upper film minimizes the risk of maceration of the wound and periwound skin
• The non-adherent contact layer makes the dressing suitable for use on fragile and sensitive skin including that of epidermolysis bullosa wounds
• Soft and comfortable for the patient, it adapts to various areas of the body
• Shaped heel dressing designed to fit this uncomfortable area
• Easy to apply and remove
• Provides an effective barrier function for exogenous bacteria, as well as helping to prevent leakage of exudate and bacteria
• Wide range of sizes that can be cut to fit different body contours
• Suitable for use under a compression bandage
• ALLEVYN Heel can contribute to a pressure reduction protocol, used prophylactically

Indications

ALLEVYN Non-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
• Overproliferating skin ulcers
• Oncological lesions
• Epidermolysis bullosa wounds
• ALLEVYN Non-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

• Cleanse the wound according to normal procedures.
• Select the most suitable dressing format.
• Prepare and clean the periwound skin by removing excess moisture. Remove excess hair to ensure maximum adhesion of the dressing to the wound.
• Apply the white side of the dressing to the wound and secure it with a secondary dressing (eg OPSITE ™ FLEXIFIX ™), plaster or bandage. ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive can be used in combination with compression bandaging in the treatment of venous ulcers.
• The ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive Dressing can be cut to fit anatomical locations that are difficult to dress.
• ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive can be used in conjunction with other treatment methods, such as compression therapy, under the supervision of a healthcare professional. If used under compression therapy, the dressing should be cut to fit the size of the wound.

During the early stages of treatment, the ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive Dressing should be inspected frequently. Dressings can be kept in place without intervention for up to 7 days, or until exudate approaches 1.5 cm from the edge of the dressing. Also take into account local clinical protocols. The outer polyurethane film is impermeable to liquids and prevents bacterial contamination of the wound. ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive can be used on clinically infected wounds under medical supervision and provided that the infection is appropriately treated.

To remove the ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive Dressing, remove the Secondary Fixing Dressing, then remove ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive by lifting it from the wound.
