Description
Allevyn Ag Heel by Smith & Nephew is a three-layer foam dressing with an integrated silver antimicrobial component, shaped specifically to conform to the heel — one of the most challenging anatomical sites for wound management. The dressing addresses both the complex contours of the heel and the elevated infection risk common in pressure-related heel injuries. Its hydrocellular foam core absorbs exudate while maintaining a moist healing environment, and the silver component helps reduce bacterial load throughout wear time.
