Smith & Nephew Allevyn Sacrum Dressing
$162.87 - $376.01
Smith & Nephew Allevyn Sacrum
AllevynSacrum has been designed for a superior anatomical fit on the sacral area to provide enhanced pressure sore management combined with the proven benefits of Allevyn adhesive.
Features:
Shaped to fit sacral area
Low allergy adhesive
Tapered construction and micro-thin edges
Unique trilaminate construction
Perforated wound contact layer
Highly absorbent central hydrocellular layer
Waterproof outer film layer
Benefits:
The wound contact layer ofAllevyn Sacrum is coated with a low allergy adhesive which is designed to adhere well to intact skin, but not to wounds. The adhesive has a proven low risk of skin irritation.
The perforated wound contact layer allows even viscous exudate to pass into the dressing.
The hydrocellular core of the dressing absorbs and holds liquid in its microscopic structure.
The breathable outer surface of the dressing allows excess moisture to evaporate away from the dressing.
Allevyn Sacrum has a profiled cross-section, narrowing to micro-thin edges which ensure the dressing remains securely in place and prevents accidental removal by shear between the dressing and clothes and bedding.
The unique anatomical design is able to conform to the sacral area moulding into the anal cleft, providing secure management of pressure sores and reduced risk of leakage.
The outer polyurethane layer of Allevyn Sacrum prevents strike-through of excess exudate from the dressing, and minimises the chances of cross-contamination and wound infection, therefore enhancing patient comfort and reducing healthcare costs. It also allows the amount of fluid in the dressing to be monitored.
AllevynSacrum dressings are soft and cushioning, giving excellent patient comfort and protection.
Contraindications and precautions:
Do not use anyAllevynproduct with oxidising agents such as hypochlorite solutions (e.g. Eusol) or hydrogen peroxide.
In common with all adhesive products, some cases of irritation and/or maceration of the skin surrounding the wound have been reported. It should be noted that inappropriate use or too frequent dressing changes, particularly in patients with fragile skin, can result in skin stripping.
If reddening or sensitisation occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
