How do I use Allevyn AG Heel?
Shallow, granulating wounds, chronic and acute exudative wounds, full and partial thickness wounds such as pressure ulcers, leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers, infected wounds, malignant wounds, surgical wounds, first and second degree burns, donor sites, fungating ulcers and oncological wounds. Application Cleanse wound in accordance with local clinical protocols. Select an appropriate dressing size. ALLEVYN Ag Non-ADHESIVE can be cut to fit awkward areas. Always use a clean technique when cutting the dressing. When used under compression therapy, the dressing must be cut to the size of the wound. Prepare and clean the skin surrounding the wound area and remove excess moisture. Any excess hair should be clipped to ensure close approximation to the wound. Remove ALLEVYN Ag Non-Adhesive from the pack using a clean technique. Apply the white face to the wound ensuring good contact and secure with a dressing retention sheet (eg OPSITE™ Flexifix or OPSITE Flexifix Gentle), tape or bandage. If the dressing has been cut ensure any exposed foam areas are covered with an appropriate film dressing taking care not to cover the entire dressing
