Safety

PRODUCT WARNINGS:

* 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.
