 Below Description A Per Manufacture's Website: Description ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive - Hydrocellular Dressing Indications ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive is indicated for exudate absorption and the management of partial to full thickness wounds. Some typical wounds are: Ulcers (venous, arterial, diabetic) Pressure Sores Donor Sites Surgical Incisions Surgical Excisions Burns (1st and 2nd degree) Creation and maintenance of a moist wound environment. Moist wound environments have been established as optimal environments for the management of the wound. Provides physical separation between the wound and external environments to assist in preventing bacterial contamination of the wound. Precautions For external use only ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive is not compatible with oxidizing agents or hydrogen peroxide, as these can break down the absorbent polyurethane component of the dressing ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive dressings are not intended to provide treatment for infected wounds. ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive may be used on infected wounds being managed in accordance with institutional clinical protocols for infection abatement as an adjunct to the standard treatment regimen to provide a barrier to bacterial penetration. ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive may not be compatible with topical anti-microbials In common with all adhesive products, some cases of irritation and/or maceration of the skin surrounding the wound may be observed. It should be noted that inappropriate use or too frequent dressing changes, particularly on patients with fragile skin may result in skin stripping. Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels during electronic measurements e.g. EEG and ECG. When ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive is used on a patient during MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) examination some warming may be experienced ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive is not compatible with oil based products such as petrolatum. ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive is not suitable for use on cavity wounds but may be used over cavity wounds as a secondary dressing. As with all products containing silver sulfadiazine the following precautions should be noted, especially when covering a large surface area with the dressing, 1. Use caution in patients with significant hepatic or renal impairment, 2. Use caution in individuals known to have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, 3. Effects of systemically administered drugs may be altered. This can especially apply to oral hypoglycaemic agents and to phenytoin. In the case of these drugs, it is recommended that blood levels should be monitored as their effect can be potentiated.   Features Optimal exudate management Sustained antibacterial activity against a broad spectrum of chronic wound pathogens inc.
