We have now concluded our investigation into this complaint.The returned sample has been evaluated and the reported issue confirmed.No lot number was provided, therefore a review of batch manufacturing records could not be conducted.The wound contact surface of allevyn life is coated with a gentle silicone adhesive layer that ensures non-traumatic removal at dressing changes.The silicone adhesive will feel sticky when compared to an acrylic adhesive and is specially designed to be very soft and gentle, but can soften further, particularly at higher temperatures.This is an inherent characteristic of all of the silicone adhesives and gives them their soft / gentle properties.It is therefore possible if the product has been stored at a high temperature, this could have contributed to the reported issue.
