This Allevyn Life Dressing has a multi-layered design incorporating hydrocellular foam, a hyper-absorbent lock away core, and a masking layer that has been designed for people and their everyday lives. Its multi-layered design provides cushioning and helps to redistribute pressure, and its silicone wound contact layer minimizes trauma to the wound and pain to the patient during dressing changes while also allowing the dressing to be repositioned. Plus, its unique, quadrilobe shape has a wide border designed to fit the contours of the human body securely and allows patients to shower while its masking layer minimizes the visual impact of strikethrough thereby providing the patient with confidence that his/her dressing may not attract the negative attention of others.
