Allevyn Cavity provides Allevyn hydrocellular technology in a unique 3 dimensional structure for effective management of deep wounds.

Features
- Core of highly absorbent hydrocellular foam chips
- Outer non-adherent perforated film
- Range of sizes and shapes
- Soft pliable construction

Benefits:
Highly Absorbent:
Allevyn Cavity dressings have been designed to overcome the problems associated with dressing deep wounds. Their high absorbency results from the ability of the encapsulated foam “chips” to absorb exudate not only by capillary action (as is the case with traditional absorbents), but also by absorption of fluid into the structure of the foam. The result is cost effective management of cavity wounds without the need for frequent dressing changes.

Highly Conformable to Wound Contours:
Allevyn Cavity dressings are available in a range of sizes suitable for virtually all deep wounds. The dressing has been designed to be soft and pliable so improving the conformability and versatility of the product. Furthermore the dressing provides and maintains optimum contact with the wound surface as it absorbs, minimising the risk of abscess formation.

Easy to use and apply:
Allevyn Cavity dressing are presented individually sterilised in convenient plastic trays. More than one dressing may be used in the same wound if necessary. The correct dressing or combination of dressings can be quickly and easily placed into the cavity, allowing more effective use of nursing time.

Superior Non-Adherency:
The three-dimensional honeycombed outer surface of the Allevyn Cavity dressing provides a highly effective non-adherent wound contact layer, so minimising discomfort and trauma during dressing changes.

Promotes Faster Healing:
The wound contact surface of the Allevyn Cavity dressing maintains a moist wound healing environment which prevents eschar formation and promotes faster healing.

Indications:
Cavity wounds including pressure sores, pilonidal sinuses, surgical excisions/incisions to:
- promote complete healing through open granulation.
- manage wounds prior to delayed primary closure.

Ingredient
Allevyn Cavity should not be re-used.
Avoid using forceps to place the dressing into the wound as this may puncture the dressing.
Ensure the numbers of dressings used in the wound is noted on application and checked on removal.
Do not use Allevyn Cavity with oxidising agents such as hypochlorite solutions (eg. Eusol) or hydrogen peroxide, as these break down the foam filling of the dressings.

Allevyn Heel dressing has been designed for a superior anatomical and comfortable fit to enhance management of wounds on the heel.

Allevyn Sacrum has been designed for a superior anatomical fit on the sacral area to provide enhanced pressure ulcer 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:
Convenient adhesive presentation:
The wound contact layer of Allevyn 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 low risk of skin irritation.

Highly Absorbent:
In-vitro studies and clinical experience both demonstrate that as healing progresses Allevyn Sacrum dressings can stay in place for up to seven days. This capacity results from a combination of properties:
- 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.
- The result is the formation of a wound environment, which allows healing to progress without the need for frequent dressing changes.

Promotes early healing:
Allevyn Sacrum allows the formation and maintenance of a moist wound healing environment at the wound surface, preventing eschar formation and promoting rapid and trouble-free healing.

Profiled dressing edges:
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 or bedding.

Anatomically shaped:
The unique anatomical design is able to conform to the sacral area moulding into the anal cleft, providing secure management of pressure ulcers and reduced risk of leakage.

Bacteriaproof/Waterproof:
The outer polyurethane layer of Allevyn Adhesive 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.

Cushioned Comfort:
Allevyn Sacrum dressings are soft and cushioning, giving excellent patient comfort and protection.

Indications
Exuding, granulating wounds
For example; pressure ulcers
It can be used in conjunction with IntraSite* Gel - Hydrogel Wound Dressing for necrotic or sloughy wounds.
