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 proven 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 and 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 sores and reduced risk
of leakage.
Bacteriaproof/Waterproof
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.
Cushioned Comfort
Allevyn Sacrum dressings are soft and cushioning, giving excellent patient
comfort and protection.
