There are many times when best patient care demands a combination of virtues in the same dressing: high absorbency, conformability, secure self-adhesion as well as waterproof and bacteria-proof performance.

ALLEVYN Adhesive, with its unique triple layer formation, has been designed to achieve this combination to ensure optimal fluid handling to support moist wound healing1. ALLEVYN Adhesive is an economically-efficient2 dressing specifically designed to manage chronic or acute exuding wounds.

The unique triple action technology helps to maintain an optimal balance in fluid creating a moist wound environment for healing1
The low allergy adhesive3 helps to keep the dressing securely in place without adhering to the wound4,5
The highly breathable top film helps to minimise the risk of maceration to the wound and peri-wound6,7
Provides an effective barrier function to exogenous bacteria as well as helping to prevent fluid and bacterial strikethrough8
