Benefits:
Convenient adhesive presentation
The wound contact layer of Allevyn Adhesive is coated with a low allergy adhesive which is designed to adhere well to intact skin, but not to wounds. The adhesive is non-irritating.

Highly absorbent
In-vitro studies and clinical experience demonstrate that Allevyn Adhesive dressings can stay in place for up to seven days. This capacity results from a combination of properties:

• The perforated wound contact layer allows even viscous exudate to pass into the dressing.
• The hydrocellular core of the dressing absorbs and holds liquid in its microscopic structure.
• The breathable outer surface of the dressing allows excess moisture to evaporate away from the dressing.
• The result is the formation of a wound environment, which allows wound closure to progress without the need for frequent dressing changes.
