Order Allevyn AG Adhesive foam dressing 10 x 10 cm for effective wound care
The Allevyn AG Adhesive Foam Dressing 10 x 10 cm is the solution for treating moderately to heavily exuding infected wounds, such as a red wound. This foam dressing contains an antibacterial silver layer, which actively fights bacteria and helps prevent infection, allowing the wound to heal faster.
The foam dressing consists of three layers that together provide optimal protection and wound healing. The perforated self-adhesive wound contact layer with a hypoallergenic adhesive layer adheres firmly to the intact skin without sticking to the wound, which minimizes the risk of wound fluid leakage. This means you experience less discomfort when removing the dressing.
The highly absorbent hydrocellular core retains wound fluid in its microscopic structure, while the breathable polyurethane film layer allows excess wound fluid to evaporate. This helps maintain a healthy wound environment and prevents leakage and cross-contamination.
Thanks to its soft, protective structure and thick core that tapers into thin edges, the foam bandage stays in place, even when rubbed against clothing. It is easy to cut to size and can be used under a compression bandage.
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.
