Order the Allevyn Gentle foam dressing 10 x 10 cm 10 pieces for optimal wound care
The Allevyn Gentle Foam Dressing 10 x 10 cm is the ideal choice for treating moderately to heavily exuding wounds. This high-quality foam dressing features a silicone wound contact layer, which has been specially developed for vulnerable skin. This layer keeps the foam dressing firmly in place and minimises damage to the wound when changing.
The hydrocellular foam layer has excellent absorption capacity, effectively retaining exudate. The PUR top layer is breathable, water-resistant and allows air to circulate when wound fluid is present. This helps to prevent softening of the wound edges and promotes a moist wound environment, which is essential for good healing.
This sterile foam dressing is flexible, stretchable in all directions and easily conforms to the contours of your body. It is also cuttable, so you can easily tailor it to your specific wound. Suitable for a wide range of wounds, such as pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds and first and second degree burns.
The Allevyn Gentle Foam Dressing offers you comfort and protection, and is available in different sizes for optimal wound care.
What are the benefits of Allevyn Gentle foam dressing?
Allevyn Gentle has a number of key benefits that make it an excellent choice for wound care:
- Silicone wound contact layer : This soft layer makes the dressing extremely suitable for vulnerable skin and ensures that the dressing remains firmly in place without causing pain when removed.
- Reusable without loss of adhesive strength : The dressing can be easily lifted and reapplied without affecting its adhesive properties.
- Hydrocellular foam layer : This absorbent layer retains exudate and prevents the wound from remaining wet, which can slow the healing process.
