ALLEVYN Life Sacrum Foam Dressing
ALLEVYN Life Sacrum Foam Dressing is a multilayer silicone adhesive foam dressing designed for sacral and coccyx pressure injuries. It supports management of moderate to heavy exudate while conforming to the anatomical shape of the lower back and buttock region.
It is commonly used in pressure injury prevention and treatment protocols in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home care environments.
Key Features
- Five-layer hydrocellular foam construction
- Silicone wound contact layer for gentle application and removal
- Anatomical sacral quadrilobe shape for secure fit
- High absorbency core for moderate to heavy exudate
- Lock-away technology reduces risk of leakage
- Breathable outer film barrier against external contamination
- Masking layer helps reduce visual impact of exudate
- Designed to stay in place during patient movement
Quick Summary
- Used for sacral and coccyx pressure injuries
- Supports moderate to heavily exuding wounds
- Designed for long wear time and reduced dressing changes
- Suitable for hospital, LTC, and home care use
What Is This Product?
ALLEVYN Life Sacrum is a silicone-bordered hydrocellular foam dressing composed of multiple functional layers including a foam absorption core, silicone contact interface, and outer protective film.
The design allows exudate to pass through the contact layer and be absorbed and retained within the foam structure while maintaining a moist wound environment and protecting surrounding skin.
Indications / Wound Types
- Sacral pressure injuries (stage I–IV as clinically appropriate)
- Diabetic ulcers in sacral region
- Venous leg ulcers extending to sacrum/buttock area
- Post-surgical wounds
- Traumatic wounds with moderate to heavy exudate
- Full and partial thickness wounds
How It Works
Exudate passes through the perforated silicone wound contact layer into a multilayer foam core designed to absorb and lock fluid away from the wound bed.
This helps maintain moisture balance while reducing risk of maceration to surrounding intact skin. The sacral shape distributes pressure and improves dressing stability on curved anatomical surfaces.
Application Instructions
- Clean wound according to clinical protocol
- Dry surrounding skin thoroughly
- Position dressing so sacral lobes align with buttock contour
- Secure gently without stretching adhesive borders
- Ensure full contact with wound area
Dressing Change Guidance
Change frequency depends on wound exudate levels and clinical evaluation. Dressing may remain in place for extended wear time until saturation, leakage, or loss of adhesion occurs.
Clinical judgment should guide dressing change intervals in both facility and home care settings.
Why Choose This Product
ALLEVYN Life Sacrum combines high-absorbency foam technology with silicone atraumatic contact and anatomical shaping. It is designed to reduce leakage risk, improve comfort on high-pressure sacral areas, and support consistent wound care management.
Its multilayer structure helps protect fragile skin while maintaining effective exudate control in challenging anatomical zones.
