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 Sacrum is not compatible with oxidizing agents or hydrogen peroxide, as these can break down the absorbent polyurethane component of the dressing - ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive Sacrum dressings are not intended to provide treatment for infected wounds. - ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive Sacrum 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 Sacrum 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 Sacrum is used on a patient during MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) examination some warming may be experienced - ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive Sacrum is not compatible with oil based products such as petrolatum. - ALLEVYN Ag Adhesive Sacrum is not suitable for use on cavity wounds but may be used over cavity wounds as a secondary dressing
