Allevyn Life Silicone Foam Dressing Small 10.3cm x 10.3cm 2 Pack

Allevyn Life from Smith & Nephew is a multi-layer foam dressing with a soft silicone adhesive, made for sensitive or fragile skin, minor burns and skin tears. The silicone layer holds the dressing in place but lifts off gently, and the dressing can be repositioned while you apply it. Behind it, a foam layer and a lock-away core draw fluid away from the wound and hold it in, while a masking layer hides staining and a change indicator shows when it is time for a fresh one. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Key Features

• Soft silicone gel adhesive that is gentle to remove and can be repositioned during application
• Perforated contact layer lets fluid pass up into the absorbent foam
• Lock-away core spreads and holds fluid across the whole pad to help prevent leaks
• Change indicator helps show when the dressing needs replacing
• Breathable, showerproof top film that acts as a moisture and bacterial barrier
• Can stay in place for up to 7 days depending on the wound

Directions for Use

• Clean the area and make sure the surrounding skin is dry and free of excess hair.
• Choose a size where the absorbent pad covers the whole wound.
• Peel off the first liner and anchor the adhesive edge to the skin.
• Remove the remaining liner and smooth the dressing down without stretching it.
• Press the borders flat so there are no creases. Reposition if needed.

Warnings

• Do not cut the dressing.
• Do not soak or submerge it in water.
• Do not use with hydrogen peroxide or hypochlorite (bleach-type) solutions, which reduce absorbency.
• Stop using it if redness or irritation develops.
• Single use only. Do not keep opened dressings for later.
• See a health professional for infected, deep or slow-healing wounds.
