Heel-Fitted Foam Dressing for Pressure Relief and Moist Wound Healing
Allevyn Heel Non-Adhesive Hydrocellular Dressing by Smith and Nephew is a foam dressing designed to conform to the heel’s natural curve while maintaining a moist wound environment for improved healing. Its 5.9 mm hydrocellular foam core helps reduce standing pressure and provides cushioning to protect vulnerable tissue. Th Allevyn Heel Dressing supports the management of ulcers, pressure injuries, burns, and post-surgical wounds.
Engineered with tri-laminate hydrocellular foam, the dressing absorbs excess exudate while retaining the right moisture balance to support autolytic debridement. The non-adherent inner layer minimizes trauma during dressing changes, while the outer film layer acts as a bacterial barrier and reduces shear friction on the skin. Allevyn Heel is safe for use up to seven days depending on exudate levels, helping reduce dressing change frequency in clinical or home settings.
Vitality Medical offers a range of foam dressings and wound care products for different levels of wound severity.
