ALLEVYN Classic Adhesive is a trilaminar edged hydrocellular dressing composed of a highly breathable polyurethane surface layer, an absorbent hydrocellular core layer, and a microperforated lesion contact layer covered with a hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive.
Ideal for treating chronic wounds
Presentation: 1 PIECE
Characteristics
- Polyurethane outer layer and edges with water vapor transmission rate (MVTR) of 3,500 g/m2 in 24 hours at 37°C.
- Hydrocellular central layer of polyurethane (PUR) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) with absorption capacity of 35 g/cm2 – 2 min.
- Micro-perforated self-adhesive contact layer coated with hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive.
- Conformable design with rounded edges.
Action mode
ALLEVYN Classic Adhesive Advanced Dressing absorbs excess exudate while maintaining an adequate moist environment to facilitate the healing process. The high absorption capacity is due to the central layer formed by polyurethane hydrocells and thanks to the polyethylene glycol particles it contains, rapid initial absorption is achieved.
The exudate is absorbed first by capillarity and later by osmosis, passing the fluid from the intracellular spaces into the interior of the hydrocells. The outer film is a waterproof film that acts as a bacterial and fluid barrier, thus preventing contamination of the wound. ALLEVYN Classic Adhesive is specially designed for use on injuries that, due to their location, require an adhesive dressing. The adhesive adheres to healthy skin but not to the wound bed and has been shown to be low risk of skin irritation.
Benefits
- The edges allow fixation of the dressing on the perilesional skin.
- Allows gas exchange.
- It acts as a bacterial barrier preventing contamination of the lesion.
- Allows the patient to take showers without having to cover the dressing.
- High absorption capacity that allows controlling the ideal humidity in the wound bed.
- Promotes wound healing.
- Minimizes the risk of maceration on the skin.
- Releases pressure from the patient's support points to contribute to the prevention of pressure ulcers.
- Does not adhere to the wound bed.
- Soft, minimizes trauma during dressing changes.
- Hypoallergenic. High skin tolerance.
- It can remain on the lesion for up to 7 days.
- Easily adaptable to any area of the body.
- Easy application.
- Protection against exudate leaks.
