Allevyn Wound Dressing Technology
Allevyn Adhesive consists of a highly absorbent hydrocellular foam pad held between an adhesive perforated wound contact layer and a highly permeable outer top film.
- Breathable Top Film: Outer polyurethane top film switches to become more breathable in the presence of exudate. It also helps to prevent strike-through and provides an effective barrier to bacteria and minimizes the risk of cross-contamination.
- Highly Absorbent Foam Core: hydrocellular foam core is highly absorbent, providing absorption capacity for up to 7 days
- Non-Adherent Wound Contact Layer: wound contact layer has a low allergy-based adhesive, which adheres well to the intact skin, will not stick to the wound and has a proven low risk of skin irritation
