1. Cleanse the application site. Ensure surrounding skin is clean, dry and free from excess hair 2. Select appropriate dressing size.

Do not stretch the dressing. 5. . Smooth down the borders. Ensure there are no creases that could compromise the seal. The dressing can be repositioned as required.

• Do not cut the absorbent pad as internal dressing components may contaminate the wound leading to delayed healing. • Do not immerse the dressing in water. • Do not use with oxidising agents such as hypochlorite solutions (e.g. EUSOL) or hydrogen peroxide as these can reduce the absorbency of the dressing. • If reddening or sensitisation occurs discontinue use. • The use of ALLEVYN LIFE Dressings as part of a prophylactic pressure ulcer prevention therapy, does not preclude the need to continue to develop and follow a comprehensive pressure ulcer prevention protocol (e.g. regular turning, appropriate mattress and skin care). • Single use only, if used on more than one patient cross contamination or infection may occur. • Once opened, do not retain unused dressings for application at a later date. • If used on infected wounds, the infection should be inspected and treated as per local clinical protocol.

It has an EXUMASK layer to masks the look of the absorbed wound fluid and also works to let you know when it is time to change the dressing.
