COMPOSITION AND PROPERTIES 

Allevyn Life, Allevyn Life Sacrum and Allevyn Life Heel dressings facilitate dynamic exudate management to provide an optimal moist environment in contact with the wound, promoting healing and potentially helping to reduce the risk of maceration.
Allevyn Life is composed of 5 layers:
  • Top layer: Opsite polyurethane filmTM semi-permeable, impermeable to water and bacteria.
  • Absorbent part composed of two layers:
    • central mesh composed of a superabsorbent material;
    • absorbent polyurethane foam layer.
  • Polyester masking layer positioned in the center: allows exudate to be masked and protects against shocks.
  • Bottom layer: silicone adhesive, for atraumatic removal.
The dressings can remain in place without requiring secondary fixation; they are easy to apply and remove.
They can be used in pressure relief protocols in association with other offloading supports.

Indications 

Management of acute and chronic exuding wounds that can only heal by secondary intention, superficial to deep, granulating such as: skin tears, surgical wounds, first and second degree burns, graft donor sites, pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, fungating ulcers, skin tears.

Directions for use 

  • Clean the wound according to usual procedures.
  • Select a dressing of appropriate size.
  • Remove one of the protective films and fix the adhesive side of the dressing to the skin.
  • Remove the rest of the protective film and smooth the dressing without stretching it.
The Allevyn Life range can be used on wounds in difficult locations, such as heels and elbows. Ensure that the dressing has no folds or stretching.
The dressings can be left in place for up to 7 days, except in the sacral area where they can be left in place for up to 5 days, depending on the condition of the wound and perilesional skin, or until saturation (until exudate is visible beyond 50% of the masking layer).
The Allevyn Life range is suitable for use on fragile skin.
Can be used in association with IntrasiteTM Gel for necrotic wounds or pressure ulcers, for the purpose of debridement.

Precautions for use 

  • Do not use if the individual protective pouch is open or damaged (loss of sterility guarantee).
  • Do not use in association with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite solutions (e.g.: Dakin) or hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide) as these products may deteriorate the polyurethane absorbent component of the dressing.
  • No longer use if redness or sensitization appears.
  • Do not cut the dressing as the internal components of the dressing may contaminate the wound, thereby causing a delay in healing. The antibacterial properties of the dressing will also be compromised, which may lead to an infection.
  • The dressings must not be used alone to relieve pressure points, but must always be used in association with other suitable pressure offloading supports.
  • The dressings are single-use products. Use in more than one patient may result in cross-contamination or infection. Opening the dressing pouch alters the sterile barrier; therefore, any unused dressing must not be kept for subsequent application.
