ALLEVYN LIFE Non-Bordered Foam Dressing
ALLEVYN LIFE Non-Bordered Foam Dressing is a five-layer hydrocellular foam dressing designed for managing moderate to heavy exuding wounds. It is intended for use under secondary fixation such as bandages, wraps, or compression therapy.
This dressing does not contain adhesive borders, making it suitable for clinical situations where flexible securing methods are preferred or required.
Key Features
- Five-layer hydrocellular foam structure
- High absorbency core for moderate to heavy exudate
- Designed for use under secondary retention systems
- Conforms to irregular wound shapes and body contours
- Helps maintain moist wound environment
- Breathable outer film layer
- Helps reduce leakage risk under compression
- Suitable for flexible clinical application methods
Quick Summary
- Used for moderately to heavily exuding wounds
- Requires secondary fixation (no adhesive border)
- Suitable for compression therapy environments
- Designed for chronic and acute wound management
What Is This Product?
This dressing is part of the ALLEVYN LIFE foam family and consists of a multilayer hydrocellular foam core designed to absorb and retain wound exudate. Unlike bordered versions, it does not include adhesive edges and is intended to be secured externally.
The foam structure supports fluid handling while maintaining a moist wound environment conducive to standard wound care protocols.
Indications / Wound Types
- Pressure injuries (as clinically appropriate)
- Venous leg ulcers
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Surgical wounds
- Traumatic wounds
- Moderate to heavy exudating wounds
How It Works
Exudate passes into a hydrocellular foam matrix where it is absorbed and distributed throughout the dressing structure. This helps maintain moisture balance while reducing risk of fluid pooling at the wound surface.
Because it is non-bordered, the dressing relies on secondary fixation methods to maintain placement and performance.
Application Instructions
- Cleanse wound according to clinical protocol
- Dry surrounding skin thoroughly
- Place dressing over wound area
- Secure with secondary fixation (wrap, tape, or bandage)
- Ensure full coverage and stability
Dressing Change Guidance
Change frequency should be determined by wound condition and exudate levels. Dressing should be replaced when saturation, leakage, or loss of integrity occurs.
Clinical judgment is required for all dressing change intervals in both home care and facility environments.
Why Choose This Product
ALLEVYN LIFE Non-Bordered Foam Dressing provides high absorbency with flexible clinical application. It is suited for situations where adhesive borders are not appropriate or where compression and secondary fixation systems are already in use.
Its multilayer foam design supports consistent exudate management while allowing adaptable securing methods.
