ALLEVYN Gentle Border Classic Foam Dressing – Gentle, Secure & Highly Absorbent Wound Care

Smith & Nephew’s ALLEVYN Gentle Border Classic Foam Dressing is a premium wound care solution designed for patients with fragile or sensitive skin. Featuring a soft silicone adhesive and advanced triple-layer technology, this dressing offers superior comfort, secure adhesion, and effective exudate management for moderately to highly exuding wounds.

 

Key Features & Benefits

  • Gentle Silicone Adhesive: Minimises pain and trauma during dressing changes, ideal for delicate skin.
  • Triple-Layer Technology:
    • Breathable Top Film: Protects against bacteria and fluids while allowing moisture vapour to escape.
    • Hydrocellular Foam Core: Absorbs and retains exudate, maintaining a moist wound environment.
    • Soft Contact Layer: Ensures secure yet non-aggressive adhesion and allows repositioning.
  • Extended Wear Time: Can be worn for up to 7 days depending on wound exudate levels, reducing dressing changes.
  • Flexible & Conformable: Adapts to body contours including elbows, heels, and sacrum for a secure fit and enhanced mobility.
  • Moisture Control: Prevents maceration by balancing moisture levels in and around the wound bed.
