Allevyn Dressings Have Three LayersA breathable, waterproof outer layer that keeps out bacteria, a hydrocellular absorbent foam core and a non-sticking wound facing layer.
Allevyn is a hydrocellular dressing that was developed specifically for the care of exsudating wounds.
Allevyn’s 3-layered construction fosters and maintains a moist wound healing environment that promotes timely healing.
The 3 layers of Allevyn Adhesive create a closed system and present an effective barrier necessary for a moist wound healing environment.
To achieve an effective barrier, 3 conditions have to be met:
- block bacteria intruding from outside
- prevent contamination
- prevent seepage
