Overview:

Allevyn Life dressings have a multi-layered design incorporating hydrocellular foam, hyper-absorber lock-away core and masking layer. It is ideal for those with fragile or sensitive skin or who have minor burns or skin tears.

The central mesh screen on the pad helps to mask the visibility of wound fluid.

The unique shape with a wide border, designed to fit the contours of the human body more securely.

The wound contact layer surface is coated with a gentle silicone adhesive layer, which is easy to apply and remove, it can be lifted and repositioned without losing its adherent properties.

The film layer is showerproof and aids in the prevention of bacterial wound infection.

The multi-layered design provides cushioning and helps to spread pressure.

Allevyn Life can be left in place without the need for a secondary dressing.

Directions for use:

Wash hands before and after treating the wound.

Select an appropriate dressing size.

Gently clean the wound and the surrounding skin and remove excess moisture. Any excess hair should be clipped.

Open the pouch by peeling apart the flaps on the pouch paper. Remove the Allevyn Life dressing. Remove one side of the backing sheet from the dressing. Anchor the adhesive side of the dressing to the skin. Smooth the dressing over the wound ensuring there are no creases.

Remove the remaining backing sheet and smooth the dressing over the remainder of the wound without stretching the dressing. The pad area only of the dressing must be adhered across the entire surface of the wound.

Allevyn Life can be used to dress awkward areas such as elbows; the dressing corner lobes can be overlapped when positioning the dressing, ensuring no creasing or stretching occurs.
