Smith & Nephew Allevyn Adhesive Foam Dressing – Box of 10

• The Smith & Nephew Allevyn Adhesive Foam Dressing is a triple layer dressing that has a highly absorbent hydrocellular foam pad in between an adhesive wound contact layer and a permeable outer film
• The top film is made from polyurethane and the breathability enhances with exudates. The film also serves as a barrier to exogenous (external) bacteria
• The foam core has absorption capacity for up to 7 days
• The wound contact layer has a low allergy based adhesive which adheres to the skin but does not stick to the wound
• The combination of the triple layer ensures that there is sufficient moisture in the wound healing environment
