Smith+Nephew Allevyn Gentle Border Lite Oval Hydrocellular Foam Dressing 8.6×7.7 cm

Description

Smith+Nephew Allevyn Gentle Border Lite Oval 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 to size. 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.

• Border to border: 8.6cm x 7.7cm
• Pad size: 6.1cm x 4.8cm.

• Conformable: Easily conforms to body contours – even on hard-to-dress areas – and stays in place without the need for secondary retention.
