Smith & Nephew Allevyn Adhesive Hydrocellular Dressing is designed specifically for the management of chronic and exuding wounds. It sticks and remains in place on difficult to dress body parts. Absorbs up to three times more exudates than other hydrocolloids and is ideal for moderate to heavy exudating wounds. It maintains a moist, wound healing environment at the wound surface helping to prevent eschar formation.

Only ALLEVYN dressings benefit from triple action ALLEVYN technology to provide peace of mind through the active fluid management system. This system encourages a moist healing environment for faster wound closure and a bacterial barrier through the ALLEVYN top film.

Low-allergy adhesive coating. Tapered construction with microthin edges. Perforated wound contact layer. Highly absorbent, central, hydrocellular layer. Creates and maintains a moist, wound healing environment at the wound surface helping to prevent eschar formation. Soft and cushioning, it provides excellent patient comfort and protection. Profiled cross-section, narrowing to microthin edges.

Self-adhering foam is designed to protect against skin damage from splints, casts, and prostheses. It may be used as a padding for such devices as beds, chairs, and operating tables. (Not intended to be used as a pressure-reducing device.)

The Cervical Collar by Drive provides firm, comfortable support which helps to relieve neck discomfort while providing extra support. Cervical Collar has a convenient hook and loop closure which allows the unit to be adjusted for a proper fit. The Cervical Collar is constructed of soft, porous cotton cover for comfort which is over polyfoam for the best support.

The only active membrane dressing that contains the following wound healing agents: wound cleanser, mild bacteriostatic, moisturizer and an absorbing agent. Feels like foam, maintains a warm, moist, fluid environment and has absorbent properties.

PolyMem's formulation of QuadraFoam keeps the wound bed moist and promotes the concentration of the body's naturally produced growth factors, nutrients and regenerated cells in the wound bed. As a result, clinical studies show that PolyMem's QuadraFoam dressings offer quicker wound recovery times than traditional dressings and have been found to help heal wounds that had previously been unsuccessfully treated.

PolyMem's built-in cleansing capabilities minimize the need for manual wound bed cleansing during dressing changes. Manual cleansing can be harmful, disturbing the wound bed and any surrounding healthy tissue.

With four aspects of wound care in one formulation, PolyMem's QuadraFoam can be used throughout the wound-healing continuum.

PolyMem's QuadraFoam is also indicated for all wound types (e.g., full and partial thickness wounds, skin tears, ulcers, surgical wounds, first- and second-degree burns).

PolyMem's QuadraFoam dressings are highly absorbent, allowing up to seven days between changes, depending on the wound status. This can mean a substantial reduction in labor and dressing costs.

PolyMem's QuadraFoam dressings provide a clear built-in visual indication of when they need to be changed, taking the guesswork out of patient care. Because of PolyMem's built-in QuadraFoam cleansing and absorption capabilities, you may be able to change dressings less often and reduce wound bed cleansing during those changes, saving you precious time.
