Allevyn dressing is a hydro-cellular dressing that is able to remove fluids much faster than other types of regular dressings. Extensively used in wound care, it is highly effective in treating exuding and chronic type of wounds. One of the reasons for its popularity is its high moisture absorbency feature, which helps in faster wound healing. Manufactured by London based Smith and Nephew, the major reason for its popularity is its faster healing properties and reduced chance of maceration. By creating a moist environment in the wound, these dressings provide optimal treatment conditions for radiating wounds.
