The dressing can be used in the context of protocols for pressure-point relief.Allevyn Life can be removed and repositioned without losing its adhesive properties. You must, however, be careful to apply it without causing folds or stretching.
My wife had major surgery, lower abdo. Wound started bleeding (she is on blood-thinning tablets), and applied the Allevyn dressing that the hospital subsequently provided. It was very absorbent and comfortable to wear. Ordered some more on E-bay but had to use over-the counter dressings in the meantime. They were far less efficient and had to be changed 2 or 3 times daily.
These Allevyn dressings are expensive but well worth the outlay.
