ALLEVYN Heel Non-Adhesive Hydrocellular Dressing
ALLEVYN Heel Non-Adhesive Hydrocellular Dressing is a shaped foam wound dressing designed for heel pressure injuries and exuding wounds. It features a non-adherent wound contact layer and a highly absorbent hydrocellular core for managing moderate to heavy exudate.
This dressing requires secondary fixation such as bandaging or retention wrap, making it suitable for clinical and home care wound management where flexible securing methods are used.
Key Features
- Anatomically shaped heel design for secure fit
- Non-adherent wound contact layer reduces trauma on removal
- Highly absorbent hydrocellular foam core
- Breathable outer film layer for moisture vapor control
- Waterproof and bacterial barrier backing film
- Can be used with secondary fixation (wraps or tape)
- Conformable structure adapts to heel contours
- Suitable for fragile and sensitive skin areas
Quick Summary
- Used for heel pressure ulcers and exuding wounds
- Requires secondary dressing fixation
- Supports moderate to heavy exudate management
- Designed for anatomical heel protection and comfort
What Is This Product?
This is a hydrocellular foam dressing with a trilaminate structure consisting of a non-adherent contact layer, absorbent foam core, and breathable outer film. It is specifically shaped for heel anatomy to improve dressing stability on curved and pressure-prone areas.
The foam core absorbs wound fluid and retains it within its structure while maintaining a moist wound environment.
Indications / Wound Types
- Heel pressure injuries (all clinically appropriate stages)
- Diabetic foot ulcers (heel region)
- Venous or arterial ulcers affecting heel area
- Surgical heel wounds
- Traumatic wounds with moderate to heavy exudate
- Partial and full thickness wounds
How It Works
Exudate passes through the non-adherent wound contact layer into a hydrocellular foam core where it is absorbed and retained within the dressing matrix. This helps maintain a balanced moist wound environment while reducing risk of leakage.
The outer film provides a protective barrier against external contamination while allowing vapor exchange to prevent excessive moisture buildup.
Application Instructions
- Cleanse wound according to clinical protocol
- Dry surrounding skin thoroughly
- Place dressing so heel contour is fully covered
- Secure with secondary fixation (bandage, wrap, or tape)
- Ensure dressing remains stable and fully in contact with wound area
Dressing Change Guidance
Change frequency should be based on wound exudate level and clinical assessment. Dressing may remain in place until saturation, leakage, or loss of integrity is observed.
Clinical judgment should guide all dressing change intervals in both home and facility environments.
Why Choose This Product
ALLEVYN Heel Non-Adhesive provides high absorbency combined with a non-adherent interface to reduce trauma during dressing changes. Its anatomical heel design improves stability on complex contours where flat dressings may shift or fail.
It is suitable for both hospital and home care settings where flexible secondary fixation methods are used.
