ALLEVYN LIFE foam dressing for discreet exudate management in everyday life

ALLEVYN LIFE is an adaptable foam dressing for the reliable management of wound exudate. Its design, incorporating EXUMASK and EXULOCK technology, promotes a clean, dry, and discreet wound environment. The cloverleaf shape makes the dressing suitable for almost any body area, such as the shoulder, knee, or elbow; additional versions for the sacral and heel areas are also available.

ALLEVYN LIFE features for hold, absorption and discretion

The superabsorbent core with EXULOCK technology securely locks in excess exudate and provides additional capacity as exudate levels increase. This helps prevent unpleasant wound odor and ensures consistently reliable exudate management. EXUMASK technology with its special masking layer makes exudate less visible from the outside, providing a clean, discreet feeling. An integrated dressing change indicator shows when a change is necessary. The extra-wide silicone adhesive border and silicone wound contact layer ensure a secure hold and comfortable wear. Additionally, the dressing cushions against external pressure and impact.

ALLEVYN LIFE application on various parts of the body

Prepare the wound according to the instructions of the healthcare professional and thoroughly dry the surrounding skin. Select an ALLEVYN LIFE foam dressing appropriate for the wound size and apply it so that the wound is completely covered by the wound contact layer. The silicone adhesive edge should lie flat against the surrounding skin to ensure a secure fit. The dressing can be used on the shoulder, knee, or elbow, among other areas; special versions are available for the sacral and heel areas. Change the dressing when the dressing change indicator shows it is needed or as recommended by the healthcare professional.
