ALLEVYN Life Foam Dressing with Adhesive Border
Designed for controlling exudate, ALLEVYN Life Dressings combine hydrocelluar foam with a hyper-absorbent core that draws in and holds onto wound fluid. As this occurs, a masking layer minimizes the dressing’s appearance for a more discreet experience in day-to-day activities.

How Do ALLEVYN Life Foam Dressings Work?
- Uses a Multi-Layer Design – This construction helps cushion the wound while evenly distributing pressure to create a more comfortable experience. As well, a silicone contact layer offers cleaner and more comfortable removal.
- Adapts to the Body – Each ALLEVYN Life Foam Dressing features a quadrilobe shape and a wide border. This combination better fits the body’s shape to provide more secure wear, including as the patient showers.
- Holds onto Exudate – Each ALLEVYN Life Foam Dressing locks in and holds onto exuddate, even when compression is applied. Construction holds onto leaks to prevent macteration and helps control odor. A change indicator clearly shows when the dressing is ready to be removed.

Allows for Less-Noticeable Wear
The masking layer offers a combination of protection and less-conspicuous wear concerning strikethrough. The dressing, as a result, draws less attention as the patient goes about their day.
