Smith & Nephew Allevyn Thin Dressing

Allevyn Thin is a self-adhesive, water resistant dressing that promotes a moist wound environment and can be left on a wound for up to 5 days.

How Allevyn Thin works:

Allevyn Thin provides a moist wound environment. Allevyn Thin is easy to apply and remove. Its flexibility allows application to all parts of the body. When using Allevyn Thin, there might be a slight increase in the amount of fluid discharge from the wound, which should stabilise after 48 hours. The wound may also enlarge slightly. This is normal when using an Allevyn Thin as it is helping to clean out the wound.

What Allevyn Thin is used for:

Allevyn Thin may be used on wounds with moderate discharge such as blisters, grazes and minor burns.
