Description
The Smith & Nephew Allevyn Adhesive Foam Dressing is a triple layer dressing that has a highly absorbent hydro-cellular foam pad in between an adhesive wound contact layer and a permeable outer film.
KEY FEATURES:
- The top film is made from polyurethane and the breathability enhances with exudates. The film also serves as a barrier to exogenous (external) bacteria.
HOW TO USE:
Cleanse the wound properly and select appropriate dressing size. Then clean the skin surrounding the wound area and remove excess moisture. Use skin prep wipes prior to application of ALLEVYN Adhesive where fragile skin is involved. Remove one of the protector films and anchor the adhesive side of the dressing to the skin.
Remove the remaining protector film and smooth the dressing over the remainder of the wound without stretching, ensuring there are no creases. The pad area of the dressing must be adhered across the entire surface of the wound. ALLEVYN Adhesive can be cut to dress wounds on the heel, elbows and other awkward areas. Always use a clean technique when cutting the dressing. If the dressing has been cut ensure any exposed foam areas are covered with an appropriate film dressing taking care not to cover the entire dressing.
