  • Instructions for Use
  • Overview
  • Instructions for Use

Step 1

Prepare and clean the skin surrounding the wound area.  SKIN-PREP◊ wipes may be used if appropriate.

Step 2

Choose one or more ALLEVYN◊ Plus Cavity dressings to fill approximately 50% of the cavity wound.  The product may be cut to accommodate size requirement.

Step 3

Fold product into itself and gently insert the dressings into the cavity using a gloved hand.  Upon release the product will slowly conform to wound cavity shape.

Step 4

AlleyvnPlusCavity_Step4 Cover the ALLEVYN◊ Plus Cavity dressings with an OPSITE◊ Film Dressing.  Alternatively an absorbent dressing pad and fixative sheet (HYPAFIX◊ Non Woven Adhesive Dressing Sheet) may be used if the skin around the wound is very delicate.

Step 5

Remove secondary dressing and carefully remove ALLEVYN◊ Plus Cavity using gloved hands.  The frequency of change depends on the quantity of exudate and the condition of the wound.  Typically, ALLEVYN◊ Plus Cavity can be left in place for 3 days from the start of treatment and this should be quickly extended to a weekly change.
