Foam Dressing Allevyn Heel 4-1/2" x 5-1/2" Heel Non-Adhesive, 5 EA/BX

Allevyn Heel foam dressing is a non-adhesive heel-shaped dressing for wound management on the heel. Buyers who need a dressing shaped for heel anatomy may choose it for a more comfortable fit and cleaner dressing changes. This dressing measures 4-1/2 x 5-1/2 inch and uses a hydrocellular foam core to absorb and hold liquid while the outer surface allows excess moisture to evaporate.
