The wound dressing Allevyn Life is a compress of moss hydrocellulaire composite with an adhesive layer of gel silicone.
Advanced technology in multiple layers, associating a compress foam hydrocellulaire composite placed between an adhesive layer microperforée silicone gel (interface in contact with the wound), and an outer film which is highly permeable (impermeable to bacteria and water tight).

Allevyn Life includes a mesh at the center of the wrap to help reduce the visual impact of the exudate. The dressing can be used in the context of protocols for pressure-point relief (caution: always in combination with other means of discharge of pressure!).
The outer film prevents bacterial contamination of the wound. It also allows patients to take a shower without having to remove the dressing.
The interface (lower layer) of Allevyn Life (in contact with the wound) is coated with an adhesive layer soft silicone ensures that the dressing can be removed without hurting the wound or the periwound skin and without causing pain to the patient (withdrawal atraumatic at dressing changes).
