Allevyn Adhesive is not indicated for use on third degree burns.
Highly absorbent: In-vitro studies and clinical experience demonstrate that Allevyn Adhesive dressings can stay in place for up to seven days. This capacity results from a combination of properties: The perforated wound contact layer allows even viscous exudate to pass into the dressing The hydrocellular core of the dressing absorbs and holds liquid in its microscopic structure The breathable outer surface of the dressing allows excess moisture to evaporate away from the dressing Moist Wound Environment: Allevyn Adhesive creates and maintains a moist wound healing environment at the wound surface, helping prevent eschar formation. Moist wound environments have been established as optimal environments for the management of the wound.
