Smith & Nephew Allevyn Ag Non-Adhesive Absorbent Silver Sulfadiazine Barrier Hydrocellular Dressing
PRODUCT DETAILS
The Smith & Nephew ALLEVYN™ Ag Non-Adhesive Absorbent Silver Barrier Hydrocellular Dressing is a high-performance wound care solution designed for managing moderate to heavy exuding wounds. This square dressing features a foam core with profiled edges, ensuring optimal exudate management and patient comfort. The silver sulfadiazine component offers antimicrobial protection, creating an effective barrier against invasive pathogens, aiding in faster healing. Its breathable, waterproof top film protects the wound from external contaminants while allowing excess fluid to evaporate, reducing the risk of maceration. The non-adherent wound contact layer prevents tissue from sticking to the dressing, minimizing pain during removal. With a wear time of up to seven days, it offers long-lasting protection and convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is foam dressing used for?
A: Foam dressings are used for moderate to heavily exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, post-surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, and traumatic wounds. They absorb fluid, protect the wound, and support healing.
Q: How often should foam dressings be changed?
A: Foam dressings are typically changed every 3 to 7 days or as needed depending on the amount of exudate. Always follow the wound care professional’s recommendations.
Q: How do foam dressings work?
A: Foam dressings absorb exudate while keeping the wound moist. They help prevent infection, reduce pain, and protect the wound from external contaminants.
Q: Can foam dressings be used on infected wounds?
A: Some foam dressings are formulated with antimicrobial agents suitable for infected wounds. Always consult with a healthcare provider before applying to an infected site.
Q: Are foam dressings suitable for dry wounds?
A: Foam dressings are typically not recommended for dry wounds because they are designed to absorb moisture. Hydrogel dressings may be more appropriate for dry or necrotic wounds.
Q: Do foam dressings stick to wounds?
A: Non-adherent foam dressings do not stick to wounds and are gentle during removal. Adhesive foam dressings stick around the wound, not directly on it.
