Allevyn Adhesive Sacrum Dressing has a unique shape designed specifically to contour to the various body shapes around the sacrum. The foam dressing has three layers to provide cushion and protection to the wound while enhancing the healing environment. The first layer is perforated so that it does not disturb the wound during dressing changes which can slow the healing process. It also encourages breathability of the wound to reduce maceration of the skin during the healing process. The center layer is highly absorbent, removing exudate from the wound while still providing a moist wound environment. The outer layer protects against bacteria and infection and repels water away from the wound.
Smith & Nephew Allevyn Sacrum Adhesive Dressing is able to stay in place for up to five days, depending on the amount of exudate from the wound. This reduces damage done to the skin surrounding the wound and allows more time for the wound to be in the optimal healing environment. The sacrum dressing has adhesive edges, removing the need for any secondary dressing or tape to hold it in place. The edges are also tapered to reduce the risk of catching and accidental removal. The tapered edges help reduce the risk of leaks and enhance the waterproof feature of the dressing.
