FOAM ALLEVYN HEEL EACH [5/BX]

SMITH & NEPHEW Allevyn Heel Hydrocellular Heel Dressing has been designed for a superior anatomical and comfortable fit to enhance management of wounds on the heel. Allevyn Heel dressings have a three-layer structure made up of a nonadherent wound contact layer, a soft and highly absorbent hydrocellular layer, and a pink outer layer, which is both bacteria proof and waterproof. Allevyn Heel is indicated for exudate absorption and the management of partial to full thickness wounds including ulcers (venous, arterial, diabetic), pressure sores, surgical incisions, surgical excisions, and burns (first- and second-degree). It helps create and maintain a moist wound environment which has been established as the optimal environment for the management of wounds. Allevyn provides physical separation between the wound and external environments to assist in preventing bacterial contamination of the wound. In-vitro studies and clinical experience demonstrate that Allevyn dressings can stay in place for up to seven days due to its high absorbency rate. This capacity results from a combination of properties. The perforated wound contact layer allows even viscous exudate to pass into the dressing while the hydrocellular core of the dressing absorbs and retains liquid in its microscopic structure. The breathable outer surface of the dressing allows excess moisture to evaporate away from the dressing. Allevyn dressings have a polyurethane wound contact layer which prevents adherence to a full range of wound types. It is ideal for use on granulating wounds on the heel or similar anatomical areas. The dressing is designed to gently fit around the back of the foot. Sold by the each. To receive a box order five each.
