ALLEVYN Ag Wound Dressing

ALLEVYN Ag is a unique blend of the existing ALLEVYN three-layer foam technology with silver sulfadiazine (SSD), providing long wear time and up to seven days of antimicrobial properties.

SSD is released into the wound bed for a duration of up to seven days:

• Effective against a broad range of pathogens, including bacteria, yeast, fungi, and antibiotic-resistant strains.

• Easy to use - silver is released upon contact with wound fluid.

ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive & Non-Adhesive
ALLEVYN Ag is a highly absorbent antimicrobial foam dressing designed for use on exuding wounds.
It utilizes the same fluid management technology as ALLEVYN and has been proven to kill bacteria at clinically effective levels (44-77ppm) by releasing silver for up to seven days.
This easy-to-use wound dressing is available in non-adhesive and adhesive forms.

Usage:
ALLEVYN Ag Non-Adhesive
• Remove the dressing from the packaging and apply with the white side facing down.
• Apply OPSITE® FLEXIFIX® or an appropriate bandage around the edges of the dressing to secure it in place.

ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive
• Select a dressing that is at least 3 cm larger than the wound.
• Clean and dry the surrounding skin and apply SKIN-PREP to protect the skin if necessary.
• Peel the protective liners from the adhesive surface, secure the dressing, and smooth it over the wound without causing wrinkles.
• The low-allergy, water-based adhesive adheres to intact skin but allows for trauma-free removal from the wound site.
