Cleanse the wound and select an appropriate dressing size. The dressings can be cut to fit awkward areas.

Prepare and clean the skin surrounding the wound area and remove excess moisture. Any excess hair should be clipped to ensure close approximation to the wound.

Remove Allevyn Non-Adhesive from the pack and apply the white face to the wound ensuring good contact and secure with a dressing retention sheet, tape or bandage.

Opening the dressing pack compromises the sterile barrier therefore any unused dressing should not be retained for use at a later date.

Always read the label, use as directed.

Do not use ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive dressings with oxidising agents such as hypochlorite solutions (eg. EUSOL) or hydrogen peroxide, as these can break down the absorbent polyurethane component of the dressing. In common with all adhesive products, irritation and/or maceration of the skin surrounding the wound may occur. Infrequent cases of sensitivity to the dressing have been reported. If reddening or sensitisation occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. It should be noted that inappropiate use, or too frequent dressing changes, particularly on patients with fragile skin, can result in skin stripping. ALLEVYN Adhesive is a single-use product. If used on more than one patient, cross-contamination or infection may occur.
