Allevyn dressings can be left in place for up to 7 days except for the sacral area where they can be left in place for up to 5 days. Microbac 2012.

If the dressing has been cut ensure any exposed foam areas are covered with an appropriate film dressing taking care not to cover the entire dressing. Schutt SC, Tarver C, Pezzani M.
