US66020093 Dressing Allevyn Hydrocellular 6X6 10/pk 3Pk/cs
- Allevyn Hydrocellular Foam Dressing is indicated for exudate absorption and the management of partial to full thickness wounds. (i.e. ulcers (venous, arterial, diabetic), pressure sores, donor sites, surgical incisions & excisions, 1st & 2nd degree burns). Provides physical separation between the wound and external environments to assist in preventing bacterial contamination of the wound. In-vitro studies and clinical experience both demonstrate that Allevyn non-adherent dressings can stay in place for up to seven days. Allevyn dressings have a polyurethane wound contact layer which prevents adherence to a full range of wound types. The outer, pink layer used on Allevyn dressings is a breathable film layer. This allows the formation and maintenance of a moist wound environment at the wound surface, which helps prevent eschar formation. The pink film is also waterproof and aids in the prevention of bacterial contamination. Allevyn dressings are non-adhesive and are therefore recommended for wounds surrounded by sensitive skin, such as venous ulcers. The lack of adhesive allows the use of the most suitable retention method, for example, tape onto intact skin, appropriate bandaging or a film dressing such as OpSite. They are conformable and can be cut to suit various wound shapes and locations. As Allevyn dressings absorb exudate, they may swell slightly, but do not leave debris in the wound. Dressing changes are therefore easier for the nurse and less traumatic for the patient; wound irrigation can be kept to a minimum. The progression of exudate through the dressing is visible through the pink top film. Allevyn dressings are soft and cushioning, providing excellent patient comfort.
