Description

ALLEVYN^◊ Plus Cavity dressings contain a highly absorbent material embedded in a self-adherent polyurethane matrix. The dressing has been designed to combine maximum absorbency and conformability with easy handling and minimal trauma on dressing removal.

Benefits

Highly Absorbent
ALLEVYN^◊ Plus Cavity dressings have been designed to overcome the problems associated with dressing deep wounds. The capacity to absorb and hold extra high levels of exudate results in the cost effective management of cavity wounds, without the need for frequent dressing changes. They will absorb and retain exudate even under compression and are permeable for oxygen and water vapour.

Non-Adherent to wound surface
The structure of ALLEVYN^◊ Plus Cavity dressings means they are slightly self-adherent. They will not adhere to the wound surface, which minimises patient trauma and wound disturbance on removal.

Highly conformable to wound contours
ALLEVYN^◊ Plus Cavity dressings are highly flexible and can be moulded to the wound shape. They have good contact with the wound surface and can be cut to any shape required making them suitable for a wide range of cavity wounds.

Easy to use
ALLEVYN^◊ Plus Cavity dressings absorb exudate, ensuring minimal mess at dressing changes. Dressing changes are therefore easier for the carer and less traumatic for the patient. Since the dressing will increase in size due to the absorption of exudate, the wound should only be half filled with the dressing.

Indications

ALLEVYN^◊ Plus Cavity dressings is a dressing for the management of deep secondary healing wounds, particularly for the following indications: Stage III & IV pressure ulcers, deep leg ulcers, cavity wounds, excisions, post-op wound dehiscence.

Contraindications
Do not use in deep cavity wounds with small openings.

Precautions
Do not use any ALLEVYN^◊ product with oxidising agents such as hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide solutions.
