Description
Allevyn Ag Non-Adhesive Dressing is designed for absorbing exudate and managing partially to fully thick wounds including ulcers (venous, arterial, diabetic), pressure sores, donor sites, surgical incisions, surgical excisions and first or second degree burns. Allevyn Ag Non-Adhesive is capable of creating and maintaining a moist wound environment which is an optimal environment for wound management. It is also capable of physically separating the wound and external environment, and consequently acting as a barrier to bacterial contaminations.

Allevyn Ag Gentle Border is designed for external use only. It is not compatible with oxidizing agents or hydrogen peroxide as these break down the dressing's absorbent polyurethane component.

This dressing is not compatible with topical antimicrobials. Remember to stop usage if reddening or sensitization occurs.
