Unique triple layer formation for optimal fluid handling and healing environment.
Allevyn adhesive consist of three layers; a breathable top film, a highly absorbent care and a non-adherent wound contact layer. The top film becomes more breathable in the presence of exudate and provides a barrier to bacteria. The hydrocellular foam core is highly absorbent making it suitable for a wide variety of wounds. The wound contact layer has a low allergy based adhesive which adheres to intact skin but will not stick to the wound. It is an economically-efficient dressing specifically designed to manage chronic or acute exuding wounds.
