Smith & Nephew Allevyn Non – Adhesive Foam Dressing

The Smith & Nephew Allevyn Non Adhesive Foam Dressing is a triple layer dressing that has a highly absorbent hydrocellular foam pad in between a non adherent wound contact layer and a permeable outer film
The top film is made from polyurethane and the breathability enhances with exudates. The film also serves as a barrier to exogenous (external) bacteria
The foam core has absorption capacity for up to 7 days
The wound contact layer does not stick to the wound and is suitable for fragile and sensitive skin including epidermolysis bullosa wounds (a rare genetic connective tissue disorder)
The combination of the triple layer ensures that there is sufficient moisture in the wound healing environment
The bandage conforms to the contours of the body making it comfortable for the patient
Indicated applications include:
Shallow and granulating wounds
Chronic and acute wounds with high exudate
Ulcers, leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers
Infected, fungating and malignant wounds
Surgical wounds, oncological wounds and donor sites
1st and 2nd degree burns
Epidermolysis bullosa wounds
The dressings are available in 2 sizes, both of which come in a standard pack of 10 dressings:
10cm X 10cm
20cm X 20cm
