## Description

ALLEVYN Adhesive is a 3-layer foam dressing that allows effective exudate management to support a moist wound healing environment. With secure adhesion that lasts up to 7 days.

**Features & Benefits**

*   ALLEVYN Adhesive maintains a moist wound environment (which helps to promote wound healing).
*   ALLEVYN Adhesive Dressing consists of a highly absorbent hydrocellular foam pad held between an adhesive perforated wound contact layer and a highly permeable outer top film.
*   Top film is a bacterial barrier preventing fluid and bacterial contamination.
*   The highly breathable top film of ALLEVYN Adhesive helps to minimise the risk of maceration to the wound and peri-wound.
*   Minimally disruptive to healing tissue.
*   Flexible and conformable.
*   Easy to use, apply and remove.
## Directions for Use

How to apply ALLEVYN ADHESIVE? 

1\. Wash hands before and after treating the wound Gently clean the wound and the surrounding skin. 2. Clean and dry the skin surrounding the wound and clip any excess hair close to the wound.   
3\. Ensure the pad area is large enough to cover the wound completely before applying the dressing.  
4\. Open the pouch by peeling apart the flaps. Remove the ALLEVYN ADHESIVE dressing.   
5\. Start to remove the backing sheet from the ALLEVYN ADHESIVE dressing.   
6\. Anchor the adhesive side of the ALLEVYN ADHESIVE dressing to the skin.   
7\. Smooth the ALLEVYN ADHESIVE over the wound, removing the remaining backing paper.   
8\. Ensure the ALLEVYN ADHESIVE dressing is flat to the wound, free from creasing and has adhered all around the wound.   
9\. If the dressing requires repositioning, remove carefully according to removal instructions and repeat application as per application instructions.

When should I replace ALLEVYN ADHESIVE?   
Fluid absorbed by the dressing will appear as a darker patch at the surface of the dressing. Inspect the dressing frequently to monitor the size of the darker patch. Dressings can be left in place for up to 7 days depending on the condition of the wound and the surrounding skin or until wound fluid (darker patch) is visible and approaches within 0.5cm of the edge of the dressing pad, which ever is sooner.

How should I remove ALLEVYN ADHESIVE?   
To remove the ALLEVYN ADHESIVE, left one corner of the dressing and slowly peel back until completely removed from the wound. 

Always read the label and follow directions for use.
## Warnings

Do not cut the dressing as the bacterial barrier and fluid handling capabilities may be compromised. The use of oxidizing agents e.g. hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorite solutions should be avoided with ALLEVYN ADHESIVE as these can break down the absorbent component of the dressing. ALLEVYN ADHESIVE is a singly use product. Re-use of this dressing may cause cross contamination which may lead to infection. If reddening or sensitization occurs, discontinue use and see you healthcare professional. Whilst showering, care must be taken to avoid wetting of the dressing. Do not expose the dressing to direct spray or submerge.
