Allevyn - Ag Adhesive (loose)
Indications
-
For exudate absorption and management of partial to full thickness wounds
-
Suitable for:
-
Ulcers (venous, arterial, diabetic)
-
Pressure sores
-
Donor sites
-
Surgical incisions & excisions
-
Burns (1st and 2nd degree)
-
-
Creates and maintains a moist wound environment, optimal for wound healing
-
Provides physical separation between wound and external environment to reduce bacterial contamination
Key Features
-
Optimal exudate management
-
Sustained antibacterial activity (including MRSA)
-
Available in a wide range of sizes and formats
-
Wear time up to 7 days (sacrum up to 5 days)
-
Breathable top film
-
Foam core with non-adherent wound contact layer
-
Profiled edges for comfort
-
Waterproof, conformable, and comfortable
-
Maintains moist wound interface
-
Low allergy adhesive
Benefits
-
Rapid wound closure with reduced risk of maceration, leakage, and odour
-
Reduces bacterial load (in vitro) to support healing
-
Promotes longer wear time and fewer dressing changes
-
Convenient all-in-one solution (no secondary retention needed)
-
Easy to apply and remove in one piece → less pain on removal
-
Provides cost-effective wound management
-
Top film becomes more breathable in the presence of fluid → responsive design
Precautions
-
For external use only
-
Not compatible with oxidising agents, hydrogen peroxide, oil-based products (e.g., petrolatum), or some topical antimicrobials
-
Not suitable for cavity wounds (may be used over cavity wounds as a secondary dressing)
-
May cause irritation or maceration around wound edges in some patients
-
Frequent changes may cause skin stripping, especially in fragile skin
-
Use with caution in:
-
Hepatic or renal impairment
-
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
-
-
May alter systemic drug effects (e.g., oral hypoglycaemics, phenytoin) – monitor blood levels if necessary
-
Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels during EEG/ECG
-
During MRI, some warming may occur
