ALLEVYN^◊ Product Range

Go to the complete range of ALLEVYN^◊ products
The ALLEVYN^◊ range caters for all wound shapes, sites and levels of exudate.

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.
