Description
ALLEVYN GENTLE
Description
Sterile, highly absorbent hydrocellular dressing made of three-layer polyurethane with a silicone gel adhesive support layer that is gentle even on the most fragile skin. In the presence of exudate, the dressing helps maintain a moist environment on the lesion, promoting healing. Allevyn Gentle absorbs and retains fluids even under compression and is able to promote pressure relief. The dressing is easy to apply and remove and, thanks to its flexibility and conformability to even complex anatomical areas (e.g. knee), it is soft and comfortable for the patient.
Property
The dressing absorbs exudate in 2 phases:
1. Vertical: to avoid maceration of the perilesional skin.
2. Horizontal: to take advantage of the full absorbent capacity of the tampon.
The dressing provides an effective barrier to bacterial entry, protecting the wound from invasive pathogenic microorganisms and thereby promoting faster healing.
Thanks to the properties of the external film, the dressing is impermeable to fluids.
The dressing can be cut to fit the most difficult to dress areas and can also be used under compression bandages.
The delicate silicone gel adhesive makes the dressing suitable for use even on fragile skin, furthermore the dressing can be lifted and repositioned without losing its adhesion properties.
The contact layer and gentle silicone gel adhesive minimize trauma to the wound and periwound skin and pain upon removal.
The dressing is well tolerated by the skin and minimizes the risk of irritation, and is comfortable for the patient.
The dressing has extensibility properties in both directions, promoting conformability to even complex anatomical areas and joints.
The dressing can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on the clinical conditions of the lesion. The average length of time varies from 3 to 7 days depending on the type of lesions treated. If the dressing is applied to the sacral area, it can be left in place for up to 5 days.
The dressing is radiolucent.
The product does not contain natural resins and gums (latex) which represent a potential allergenic factor.
The product does not contain phthalates.
Composition
-Wound contact layer: perforated polyurethane film, entirely coated with silicone gel adhesive, delicate even for the most fragile skin, which adheres softly to the perilesional skin but not to the wound, allowing atraumatic removal of the dressing without damaging the granulation tissue. The perforation allows the passage of fluids produced by the wound bed towards the central, absorbent layer.
-Intermediate layer: hydrophilic polyurethane foam with a hydrocellular structure and mixed cells with polyethylene glycol particles. The structure and size of the cells ensure that all the absorbed exudate (both by capillarity and cellular absorption) is retained within the foam, thus limiting the risk of leakage and the consequent danger of maceration of the perilesional skin. In addition to the exudate, any cellular debris and bacteria that may be present are also absorbed and retained. The size of the cells, mixed small and medium, also produces a "cushion" effect that favors the discharge of pressure forces, the same ones that generate the ulcer.
-Outer layer: colored polyurethane film (natural pigments) impermeable to liquids and bacteria, with high gas permeability and dynamic breathability capable of maintaining a moist environment on the wound bed and removing excess exudate by evaporation, avoiding maceration of the skin.
Conservation
Store in a dry place at a temperature below 25°C.
Validity with intact packaging: 24 months.
