I have used advasorb, it is good, howver it is not quite as absorbent as standard allevyn, so i use it with care on heavily exudating wounds. Dechra also do eclypse dressings (special order from nvs) this is a thin pocket that absorbs large volumes, great for covering penrose drains. the only issue is you cannot trim it to size.

Yes, Dechra do a great alternative called Advazorb Plus.
