Description
Smith & Nephew ALLEVYN COMPLETE CARE Silicone Foam Dressing – 11 Configurations – Sizes 3" x 3" to 6.7" x 6.8" is a silicone foam dressing from Smith & Nephew that absorbs and locks away exudate behind a gentle silicone contact layer that lifts without stripping skin. The line covers sizes from 3" x 3" to 6.7" x 6.8" across 11 configurations, so wound care and prevention teams can match the exact size to the wound and the protocol. Each configuration is sold as 10/bx, 30 bx/cs with its own item number and price.
- Silicone Contact Layer – To build an effective pressure injury prevention protocol, international best practice guidelines recommend using a soft silicone, multi-layered foam dressing to protect the skin of patients who are at risk of developing pressure injuries.
- Exudate Management – COMPLETE CARE for exudate management.
- Full Size Range – Configurations span sizes from 3" x 3" to 6.7" x 6.8", which keeps one item-number system across the whole range.
- Department Packaging – Sold as 10/bx, 30 bx/cs, so supply rooms can stock at the level each department actually uses.
- Wear Time – The dressing is designed to stay in place for up to 7 days, which reduces unnecessary changes.
Silicone Foam Dressing Built for Exudate management and pressure injury prevention protocols
For exudate management and pressure injury prevention protocols, the silicone foam dressing is specified around control, consistency and a setup the team can repeat. Friction: Resistance caused by dragging the skin across a surface. Compression: A force exerted on soft tissue from an external surface, affecting blood vessels and circulation. Effective exudate management is a crucial aspect of wound healing. Excess wound fluid can lead to maceration or delayed wound healing, whereas insufficient moisture risks desiccation and impaired cell migration. For wound care and prevention teams, that means a predictable setup and fewer mid-procedure workarounds.
