Order Allevyn AG Adhesive Foam Dressing 7.5 x 7.5 cm for optimal wound care
The Allevyn AG Adhesive Foam Dressing has been specially developed for the care of moderately to heavily exuding infected wounds, such as a red wound. This 7.5 x 7.5 cm foam dressing is provided with an antibacterial silver complex, which actively combats bacteria and thus minimizes the risk of infection.
This high-quality, sterile foam dressing creates a moist wound environment, which is essential for rapid healing of granulating wounds. The self-adhesive wound contact layer with hypoallergenic adhesive adheres well to intact skin without adhering to the wound itself, allowing for painless removal. In addition, it helps to prevent leakage of wound fluid.
The hydrocellular core of the dressing has a high absorption capacity, which efficiently retains wound fluid and prevents leakage. The waterproof polyurethane film layer protects against bacteria and moisture, while the breathable properties allow excess wound fluid to evaporate. This keeps the wound environment optimal.
With its soft, protective structure and antibacterial properties, Allevyn AG Adhesive foam dressing is an excellent choice for treating red wounds. This dressing can also be used under compression bandages and can be cut to size for a perfect fit.
What are the benefits of Allevyn AG Adhesive Foam Dressing?
The Allevyn AG Adhesive Foam Dressing offers numerous benefits to both the patient and the practitioner. Here are some of the key benefits you will experience when using this innovative foam dressing:
- Antibacterial protection with silver : The most important feature of this foam dressing is the addition of silver. This has an antibacterial effect, which is crucial for treating infected wounds and preventing new infections.
- Three-layer construction for optimal wound care :
- The perforated adhesive wound contact layer adheres firmly to healthy skin, but does not stick to the wound. This reduces pain when changing the dressing and prevents damage to newly formed tissue.
- The hydrocellular core has a high absorption capacity and retains wound fluid, ensuring the dressing remains effective for a long time without leakage.
- The waterproof polyurethane top layer protects the wound from external influences such as bacteria and moisture, while allowing excess wound fluid to evaporate. This helps prevent maceration of the wound edges.
- Creates a moist wound environment : A moist environment is essential for good wound healing. This foam dressing helps to create and maintain this environment, leading to faster and better wound healing.
- Comfortable and protective : The foam dressing is soft and flexible, with a thick core that provides comfort. The thin edges prevent the dressing from coming loose due to friction with clothing or bedding.
- Reduces pressure : Thanks to the thickness of the core, the dressing helps to reduce pressure on the wound, which is particularly important for wounds under pressure, such as pressure ulcers.
- Use under compression : The foam dressing can be used under compression bandages without any problems, making it a versatile choice for the treatment of complex wounds.
- Can be cut to size : The foam dressing can be easily cut to size to perfectly fit the shape and size of the wound, even in difficult to dress areas.
- Long-lasting effect : Due to its high absorption capacity and antibacterial properties, the foam dressing can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on the amount of exudate.
For which wounds do I use Allevyn AG Adhesive Foam Dressing?
The Allevyn AG Adhesive Foam Dressing is ideally suited for the treatment of various types of wounds that have an increased risk of infection or are already infected. The foam dressing is particularly suitable for:
- Moderately to heavily exuding (oozing) wounds : These types of wounds produce a significant amount of wound fluid, which can increase the risk of infection. The high absorbency of the foam dressing makes it ideal for these situations.
- Granulating wounds : These are wounds that are in the phase of wound healing in which granulation tissue (a granular, vascular connective tissue) is forming. The foam dressing supports this phase by creating a moist environment without sticking to the wound.
- Infected wounds : The antibacterial silver in the foam dressing fights active infections and prevents further spread of bacteria.
- Wounds at increased risk of infection : Wounds prone to infection, such as surgical wounds, pressure ulcers or burns, benefit from the antibacterial protection of Allevyn AG Adhesive foam dressing.
