Allevyn Heel

Sizes: 4 1/2″ x 5 1/2″

The heel is the second most common site for pressure ulcers (decubitus ulcers)1, after the sacrum. The Allevyn Heel dressing has been designed for a superior anatomical and comfortable fit to enhance the management of wounds on the heel. Allevyn Heel dressings have a unique trilaminate structure made up of a non-adherent wound contact layer, a soft and highly absorbent central hydrocellular layer and a pink outer film layer which is both bacteriaproof and waterproof. Allevyn Heel dressings employ all the proven benefits of moist wound healing, without any breakdown of the dressing caused by contact with exudate. The result is early, clean and trouble-free healing of those wounds which have traditionally proved difficult to care for.
