Frequently asked questions
Is this dressing suitable for fragile skin?
Yes, the non-adhesive design is specifically engineered for sensitive or fragile skin. Because the dressing does not stick to the wound, it helps prevent trauma to the area and ensures painless removal during dressing changes.
How long can I leave this dressing on?
The Allevyn Classic dressing has an extended wear time of up to 7 days, depending on the level of exudate and your healthcare provider’s assessment.
What is the primary benefit of the foam core?
The advanced hydrocellular foam core is highly absorbent. It effectively wicks away excess fluid from the wound site while maintaining a moist environment, which is clinically proven to support faster healing.
Does this dressing protect against bacteria?
Yes. The outer layer consists of a breathable polyurethane film that acts as a protective barrier. It allows for necessary gas exchange while preventing external bacteria from entering, which helps reduce the risk of infection.
How do I keep this non-adhesive pad in place?
Since this is a non-adhesive dressing, it does not have a sticky border. You can easily secure it in place using secondary retention tapes, bandages, or wraps suitable for your specific wound location.
Is this dressing appropriate for heavy bleeding?
This dressing is specifically optimized for wounds with moderate exudate levels. If your wound has heavy fluid production or active bleeding, please consult a medical professional to ensure this product is the right choice for your clinical needs.
Are these dressings individually sterile?
Yes, every dressing in the case of 60 is individually packaged and sterile, ensuring the highest level of hygiene and safety for wound care.
Can this be used for home-care wound management?
Absolutely. While it is a high-performance clinical product, it is perfectly suitable for home-care environments provided you follow standard wound hygiene practices or instructions from your doctor.
Why is the top film breathable?
The breathability of the polyurethane top film is essential for balancing moisture. It allows moisture vapor to escape, which helps manage the wound climate and prevents the dressing from becoming oversaturated.
What is the total quantity per purchase?
This purchase consists of a case containing 60 individual 2 x 2-inch sterile dressings.
