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, helping to enable patient comfort during wear. The dressing can be cut too. The silicone gel adhesive allows reapplication as necessary (if using in pressure injury prevention) and reduces trauma on removal. 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. The breathable top film acts as a protective barrier, reducing the risk of infection and contamination. The film is moisture responsive, reacting to changing skin conditions – breathability increases as exudate levels increase to prevent unnecessary moisture retention. Allevyn Gentle Border Dressing Features: Protective: A breathable, showerproof top film provides a bacterial barrier, while the dressing remains intact. Absorbent: Highly-absorbent hydrocellular foam core facilitates a wear time of up to 7 days. Gentle: Easy to apply and remove, and shown to minimise pain and trauma during dressing changes. Versatile: Suitable for use on fragile skin with multi-way stretch facilitating conformability to difficult-to-dress areas, such as the knee and elbow. Can be cut to size without shedding for flexibility.
