Allevyn consists of a layer of soft, hydrophilic polyurethane foam, about six millimetres thick, bonded to a pink semipermeable 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 microorganisms 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 semipermeable 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.

The dressing may be secured with tape or a piece of dressing retention sheet (such as Hypafix or Mefix ), or held in position with a suitable compression bandage, as appropriate. If necessary, Allevyn may be cut or shaped with a pair of sterile scissors.
