Allevyn Gentle Border Dressing Lite Oval l162mm x w137mm

ALLEVYN Gentle Border is a hydrocellular foam dressing with a silicone gel adhesive contact layer. It is indicated for wounds on patients with fragile or sensitive skin. With a wide range of shapes and sizes, ALLEVYN Gentle Border dressings are designed to conform to the body. The silicone gel adhesive allows reapplication as necessary (if using in pressure injury prevention) and reduces trauma on removal, with dressings able to be cut to size. The ALLEVYN foam prevents leakage and may help reduce the risk of maceration of the wound and surrounding skin meaning fewer painful dressing changes and less stress for patients.
