Allevyn Thin
Softly adhesive flexible foam dressing

Allevyn Thin is a gently adhesive, highly flexible wound dressing. The highly absorbent foam core supports the management of wounds with low to moderate exudate. The reliable adhesion of the conformable dressing requires no secondary fixation. Allevyn Thin minimizes the risk of skin maceration and features a waterproof and breathable outer film. Allevyn Thin ensures a secure and gentle hold and does not slip, even without additional fixation. The dressing is easy to apply and remove. Atraumatic dressing changes minimize patient pain. The highly absorbent foam core securely locks in wound exudate, maintaining an ideal moist wound environment and thus accelerating the healing process. The risk of infection is reduced by a waterproof outer film that protects the wound from external influences and bacteria.
