Allevyn consists of a layer of soft, hydrophilic polyurethane foam, about six millimetres thick, bonded to a pink semi permeable polyurethane film. Although this film is permeable to moisture vapour, it provides an effective barrier to water or wound exudate and also prevents the passage of micro organisms through the back of the dressing. The wound contact surface of the dressing is covered with a perforated film, designed to prevent the dressing from adhering to granulating tissue. The foam is highly absorbent, and strike-through is prevented by the semi permeable film backing. When applied to an exuding wound, the dressing will absorb excess fluid but maintain the wound surface in a moist condition providing a micro-environment that is conducive to healing.

High Tensile Strength Made with elastic yarns of DuPont's LYCRA spandex 
A standard type of adhesive, flexible bandage used to hold dressings in place. Should not be stuck to bare skin as this might cause soreness and be difficult to remove later. Although best avoided, it can be stuck to fur/hair but should be replaced regularly and can be difficult to remove. (4.5m long when stretched)
