Smith+Nephew Releases New Data Supporting ALLEVYN™ COMPLETE CARE for Pressure Injury Prevention
Smith+Nephew’s ALLEVYN COMPLETE CARE dressing is shown to absorb 93% of mechanical energy, significantly reducing shear forces that cause pressure injuries, a $26.8 billion US problem. Peer-reviewed data (Int Wound J, 2025) validates this with Frictional Energy Absorber Effectiveness (FEAE) testing and Finite Element Modelling (FEM), improving FEAE from 30-45% (ALLEVYN LIFE). A US launch is planned for late 2025, followed by a global rollout in 2026.
