Description
Allevyn Life Foam Dressings Overview
Smith & Nephew Allevyn Life Foam Dressing is an advanced foam wound dressing for the care and prevention of highly exuding wounds, including pressure ulcers. The Allevyn Life Dressing redistributes pressure, minimizes leakage, and its dressing change indicator reduces waste and unnecessary changing. There are five distinct layers, with a central core that effectively locks away moisture to prevent leakage and odor; even while under pressure. The extra comfortable padding distributes pressure, making it a top-rated foam dressing for pressure ulcer prevention. A gentle silicone adhesive will safely and confidently keep the dressing in place for seven days.
Allevyn Life Advanced Wound Dressings are available in multiple sizes and shapes to ensure the user finds the best-fitting dressing for the wound type. Choose from three unique shapes: quadrilobe, heel, and sacrum.
Contoured Shapes
- Quadrilobe Shape - features four quadrants to assist with easy placement of flat and contoured body regions that are hard-to-dress.
- Heel Shape - has a unique "Y" shaped dressing to wrap around the heel and bony prominences of the ankle. The contour design eliminates the need for a secondary tape or adhesive agent.
- Sacrum Shape - is circular with a tail to fit at the dimple or cleft at the spinal cord. The shape won't stand up to prevent tenting.
