Multilayer Silicone Adhesive Foam Dressing for Exudate Management and Pressure Ulcer Prevention
Smith & Nephew Allevyn Life Foam Dressing is an advanced multilayer designed for managing moderate to heavy exuding wounds, including pressure ulcers and chronic wounds. Its innovative five-layer construction combines a hydrocellular foam core, soft silicone adhesive, and a breathable waterproof outer film, working together to deliver optimal moisture balance, absorbency, and comfort. These dressings help solve common wound care challenges like leakage, odor, and dressing disruption, while minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes.
Designed for Clinical and At-Home Use
Frequently used in long-term care facilities, hospitals, and home health settings, ALLEVYN Life supports wound healing while enhancing patient comfort and dignity. The built-in change indicator layer reduces waste by signaling when the dressing should be replaced. Its conformable border design fits challenging body contours, making it an excellent solution for patients with limited mobility, fragile skin, or those at risk for skin breakdown. The gentle silicone layer keeps the dressing securely in place and allows for repositioning without losing adhesion, supporting caregivers in daily wound management.
Available Sizes and Shape Options
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 Dressing Shapes for Challenging Anatomical Areas
- Quadrilobe Shape – Features four quadrants to assist with easy placement on flat or contoured body regions that are difficult to dress. Ideal for areas where secondary tape may not be effective.
- Heel Shape – A unique "Y"-shaped dressing wraps around the heel and bony prominences of the ankle. The bordered, conformable design eliminates the need for additional adhesives.
- Sacrum Shape – A circular shape with a tail to fit the cleft at the base of the spine. Designed to prevent tenting and ensure full contact over pressure-prone areas.
