ALLEVYN Life Heel Foam Dressing with Adhesive Border

Featuring a multi-layered design, ALLEVYN Life dressings help control exudate and create an ideal healing environment through a combination of hydrocellular foam, a high-absorbent core and comfortable masking layer. An ALLEVYN Life Heel dressing builds from this foundation with a unique, adaptable design that eliminates the need for securement.

How Do ALLEVYN Life Heel Foam Dressings Work?
ALLEVYN Life Heel dressings help manage exudate through the following features:

• Masking layer: Equipped with a change indicator, this layer allows for more discreet wear while indicating when the dressing should be changed.
• Lock-away core: A greater level of absorbency draws in and traps exudate, even under pressure. This action further controls odors while lessening leak risks.
• Silicone wound contact layer: The heel dressing can be repositioned and removed with minimal pain and trauma to the wound bed.
• Multi-layered construction: Along with highly absorbent hydrocellular form, the multi-layer construction used for ALLEVYN Life Heel distributes pressure and provides a degree of cushioning to improve patient comfort and shield the wound bed from additional trauma.
• Quadrilobe shape: This shape plus a wider border allows ALLEVYN Life Heel to better accommodate the body’s curves and helps the dressing remain secure in the shower.
