Smith Nephew 66801306 Allevyn Life Sacrum Dressing 7x7 Box10

ALLEVYN Life Sacrum has a tail designed specifically for wounds in the sacral area and fits around the cleft, to help overcome common problems such as the dressing tenting. The dressing has been designed following observational ethnographic research with patients and clinicians who have experience with sacral wounds.

ALLEVYN Life Dressings have a multi-layered design incorporating hydrocellular foam, a hyper-absorber lock away core and a masking layer that has been designed for people and their everyday life through:

• Unique quadrilobe shape with a wide border designed to fit the contours of the human body securely and allows patients to shower
  
• The masking layer minimizes the visual impact of strikethrough, providing the patient with confidence that their dressing may not attract the negative attention of others
• Excellent fluid locking under pressure (in vitro)
• Peace of mind leakage prevention for the patient 
  
• Common wound odor absorption when tested (in vitro) on representative compounds
  
• Multi-layered design provides cushioning and helps to redistribute pressure (in vitro)
• Silicone wound contact layer minimizes trauma to the wound and pain to the patient during dressing changes while allowing the dressing to be repositoned
  
• Helpful change indicator helps avoid unnecessary dressing change and waste
