Convenient Adhesive Presentation
The wound contact layer of ALLEVYN Sacrum is coated with a low allergy adhesive which is designed to adhere well to intact skin, but not to wounds.  The adhesive has a proven low risk of skin irritation.

Highly Absorbent
In-vitro studies and clinical experience both demonstrate that ALLEVYN Sacrum dressings can stay in place for up to five days.  This capacity results from a combination of properties:

• The perforated wound contact layer allows even viscous exudate to pass into the dressing.
• The hydrocellular core of the dressing absorbs and holds liquid in its microscopic structure.
• The breathable outer surface of the dressing allows excess moisture to evaporate away from the dressing.

The result is the formation of a wound environment, which allows wound closure to progress without the need for frequent dressing changes.
