Allevyn Adhesive Hydrocellular Dressing - 5 x 5" - - Box of 10

Allevyn Adhesive Hydrocellular Dressing 5 x 5" (Pad Size 4 x 4") Allevyn Adhesive Hydrocellular Dressing provides the advantages of Allevyn hydrocellular dressings in a adhesive format for simple and effective fixation. Allevyn Adhesive is indicated for exudate absorption and the management of partial to full thickness wounds. Some typical wounds are: Ulcers (venous, arterial, diabetic) Pressure Sores Donor Sites Surgical Incisions Surgical Excisions Burns (1st and 2nd degree) Creation and maintenance of a moist wound environment. Moist wound environments have been established as optimal environments for the management of the wound. Provides physical separation between the wound and external environments to assist in preventing bacterial contamination of the wound. Do not use any Allevyn product with oxidising agents such as hypochlorite solutions (eg Dakins) or hydrogen peroxide, as these can break down the absorbent polyurethane component of the dressings. As with all adhesive products, some cases of irritation and/or maceration of the skin surrounding the wound have been reported. It should be noted that too frequent dressing changes, particularly on patients with fragile skin, may result in skin stripping. If reddening or sensitization occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Allevyn Adhesive is not indicated for use on third degree burns.
