ALLEVYN Wound Management Dressings

ALLEVYN Adhesive Hydrocellular Adhesive Dressing

Wounds produce exudate (they weep) as part of the natural cleansing and healing process. It is important for a wound dressing to absorb this exudate but manage it in a way that does not dry out the wound. It is clinically proven that wounds heal faster and better in a moist environment.

ALLEVYN^◊ is a clinically proven advanced moist wound healing product for the management of chronic and exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers and leg ulcers, and acute wounds, such as donor sites.

Chronic wounds can be large and difficult to heal and pose a very serious problem to the healthcare professionals and the patients affected.

Smith & Nephew produces a range of ALLEVYN^◊ dressings to cater for a wide range of wound types, sizes and locations offering clinicians an excellent choice in terms of matching dressings to patient needs.

The original ALLEVYN^◊ dressings a have unique triple-layered construction, which is comprised, of a breathable polyurethane top film, a highly absorbent hydrocellular foam core and a non-adherent wound contact layer to allow for promotion of faster healing of wounds.

As part of a continuous programme of innovation of the ALLEVYN^◊ brand, in response to the needs of patients and clinicians, Smith & Nephew have recently launched new and improved versions of two key products within the ALLEVYN^◊ range; ALLEVYN^◊ Adhesive and ALLEVYN^◊ Sacrum. These products now have up to three times increased fluid handling capacity.

The new ALLEVYN^◊ Adhesive dressings now have a more breathable dynamic top film and a faster rate of fluid uptake. This combined with the existing benefits of ALLEVYN^◊ enables the promotion of faster healing by reducing the risk of maceration and maintaining an optimal moist wound environment.

Together with the benefits of the other products in the range, ALLEVYN^◊, the global leading foam dressing in advanced wound management offers the clinician a clinically proven range of dressings that provide a cost effective solution for both the clinician and the buyer.
