ALLEVYN◊ Life Silicone Gel Adhesive Foam Dressing - Heel, 5/bx, 6 bx/cs

ALLEVYN◊ Life Heel (Smith & Nephew) is a multi-layered foam dressing featuring a silicone wound contact layer. Designed for the heel area, the multi-layered construction of ALLEVYN◊ Life absorbs and locks away fluid, reducing the risk of maceration. Silicone adhesive provides secure fixation with gentle removal, minimizing trauma to the peri-wound skin. ALLEVYN◊ Life provides a breathable, waterproof top layer for protection against external contamination while facilitating moisture vapor transmission.

Please note: All prices are for cases.

Key Features

Five-Layer Construction: Integrates multiple functional layers to maximize fluid management, absorption, and patient comfort.

Exudate Masking Layer: Designed to reduce the visibility of wound fluid, helping to improve patient confidence and well-being.

Gentle Silicone Adhesive: Ensures a secure hold on fragile skin while allowing for atraumatic removal and repositioning.

Anatomical Heel Design: Engineered specifically to conform to the heel and malleolus, providing a better seal and reducing the risk of the dressing lifting.

Pressure Redistribution: The thick foam core provides a cushioning effect that assists in the prevention and management of pressure-related injuries on bony prominences.

Advanced Fluid Locking: Retains absorbed exudate even under compression, significantly reducing the risk of periwound maceration.

Ideal Clinical Applications

Moderate to Heavily Exuding Heel Wounds: Optimized for wounds on the posterior or plantar aspects of the heel requiring high-capacity fluid management.

Fragile and Sensitive Skin: Ideal for elderly or diabetic patients with compromised skin integrity where standard adhesives may cause trauma.

Pressure Ulcer Management: Effective for both the treatment of existing Stage 1 through 4 pressure ulcers and as part of a prophylactic pressure injury prevention protocol.

High-Movement Anatomical Areas: The specialized shape ensures the dressing stays in place during leg movement or repositioning in bed.
