Order the Allevyn Gentle Border foam dressing 10 x 10 cm 10 pieces for sensitive wound care
The Allevyn Gentle Border Foam Dressing 10 x 10 cm is the ideal choice for the care of moderately to heavily exuding wounds, especially those with sensitive skin. This innovative foam dressing has a silicone gel wound contact layer and an adhesive border that adheres to healthy skin without sticking to the wound. This minimises pain when removing the dressing.
The hydrocellular core of the foam dressing absorbs wound fluid and retains it in its microscopic structure, keeping the wound clean and dry. The waterproof polyurethane top layer protects the wound from bacteria and external sources of moisture, while allowing excess wound fluid to evaporate. This prevents softening of the wound edges and supports an optimal wound healing process.
Thanks to the breathability of the top layer and the high absorption capacity of the core, this foam dressing offers long-term protection. The dressing is also suitable for use under compression therapy, making it versatile for various types of wounds, such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds and burns.
The Allevyn Gentle Border Foam Dressing is sterile packed and available in different sizes, so you always have the right option for your wound care.
What are the benefits of Allevyn Gentle Border foam dressing?
The Allevyn Gentle Border foam dressing offers a number of benefits that contribute to patient comfort and wound healing. Some key benefits include:
- Silicone wound contact layer and adhesive border : These ensure that the dressing adheres firmly to healthy skin without pain or damage when removed. The wound contact layer does not stick to the wound itself, which minimizes pain and trauma.
- High Absorption Hydrocellular Core : This core effectively absorbs wound fluid and retains it in its microscopic structure, helping to keep the wound clean and reduce the risk of infection.
- Waterproof polyurethane top layer : This semi-permeable layer does not allow moisture or bacteria to pass through from outside, while excess wound fluid can evaporate. This prevents softening of the wound edges and protects the wound from external contamination.
- Breathable : The foam dressing is breathable, which helps maintain a balanced wound environment and promote healthy healing.
- Showerproof : The dressing is waterproof, allowing patients to shower with the dressing without it coming loose or leaking.
- Repositionable : The dressing can be easily lifted and repositioned without losing its adhesive strength, increasing ease of use.
- Suitable for compression therapy : Allevyn Gentle Border can be used safely under compression therapy, making it a versatile option for various treatment methods.
