Key Features & Benefits
General Product Description
Allevyn Life is a silicone gel adhesive dressing ideal for those with sensitive or fragile skin or who have minor burns or skin tears. It is ideal to dress wounds on awkward areas. It is easy to apply & gentle to remove, showerproof, comfortable & absorbant.
Allevyn Life dressing has an advanced layered construction, which combines a foam pad held between a perforated silicone gel adhesive wound contact layer and a highly permeable waterproof outer film. Allevyn Life incorporates a central mesh screen on the pad to help mask the visibility of wound fluid. The film layer aids in the prevention of bacterial wound infection.
Directions for Use
1. Wash hands before and after treating the wound.
2. Prepare and clean the skin surrounding the wound area by removing excess moisture. Any excess hair close to the wound should be clipped.
3. Open the pouch by peeling apart the flaps on the pouch paper. Remove the Allevyn Life dressing. Remove one side of the backing sheet from the Allevyn Life dressing. Anchor the adhesive side of the Allevyn Life dressing to the skin. Smooth the dressing over the wound ensuring there are no creases.
4. Remove the remaining backing sheet and smooth the dressing over the remainder of the wound without stretching the dressing. The pad area only of the dressing must be adhered across the entire surface of the wound.
