Warnings • Do not cut the absorbent pad as internal
dressing components may contaminate the
wound leading to delayed healing.
• Do not immerse the dressing in water.
• Do not use with oxidising agents such as
hypochlorite solutions (e.g. EUSOL) or
hydrogen peroxide as these can reduce the
absorbency of the dressing.
• If reddening or sensitisation occurs discontinue
use.
• The use of ALLEVYN LIFE Dressings as part of
a prophylactic pressure ulcer prevention
therapy, does not preclude the need to
continue to develop and follow a
comprehensive pressure ulcer prevention
protocol (e.g. regular turning, appropriate
mattress and skin care).
• Single use only, if used on more than one
patient cross contamination or infection may
occur.
• Once opened, do not retain unused dressings
for application at a later date.
• If used on infected wounds, the infection
should be inspected and treated as per local
clinical protocol.

2. Prepare and clean the skin surrounding the wound area by removing excess moisture. Any excess hair close to the wound should be clipped.
3. Open the pouch by peeling apart the flaps on the pouch paper. Remove the Allevyn Life dressing. Remove one side of the backing sheet from the Allevyn Life dressing. Anchor the adhesive side of the Allevyn Life dressing to the skin. Smooth the dressing over the wound ensuring there are no creases.
4. Remove the remaining backing sheet and smooth the dressing over the remainder of the wound without stretching the dressing. The pad area only of the dressing must be adhered across the entire surface of the wound.
