- 1.48 fewer dressing changes per patient, per week
- 58.7% savings in mean weekly dressing costs
- Shown to provide good/high patient satisfaction through fewer dressing changes.
Pressure injury prevention
When compared to standard preventive care alone, the addition of ALLEVYN LIFE Dressings to a pressure injury prevention protocol has been shown in studies to:
