ALLEVYN LIFE Foam Dressing 12.9cm x 12.9cm Pk2

Overview

ALLEVYN Life is a 5 layer foam dressing designed to absorb low to high amounts of wound fluid. ALLEVYN LIFE's REACTIC technology means it is waterproof, breathable and protective against bacteria. ALLEVYN LIFE is absorbent, gentle on the skin and can be left in place for up to 7 days.

ALLEVYN Life pad is designed to protect from knocks and bumps. It has an EXUMASK layer to masks the look of the absorbed wound fluid and also works to let you know when it is time to change the dressing.

Safety

* Do not cut the absorbent pad as internal
dressing components may contaminate the
wound leading to delayed healing.
* Do not immerse the dressing in water.
* Do not use with oxidising agents such as
hypochlorite solutions (e.g. EUSOL) or
hydrogen peroxide as these can reduce the
absorbency of the dressing.
* If reddening or sensitisation occurs discontinue
use.
* The use of ALLEVYN LIFE Dressings as part of
a prophylactic pressure ulcer prevention
therapy, does not preclude the need to
continue to develop and follow a
comprehensive pressure ulcer prevention
protocol (e.g. regular turning, appropriate
mattress and skin care).
* Single use only, if used on more than one
patient cross contamination or infection may
occur.
* Once opened, do not retain unused dressings
for application at a later date.
* If used on infected wounds, the infection
should be inspected and treated as per local
clinical protocol.

Always read the label and follow directions for use.
