Order the Allevyn Gentle Foam Dressing 15 x 15 cm 10 pieces for optimal wound care
The Allevyn Gentle Foam Dressing 15 x 15 cm is the solution for you if you are looking for effective wound care for moderately to heavily exuding wounds. This sterile foam dressing has a silicone wound contact layer, specially designed for vulnerable skin. Thanks to this silicone layer, the foam dressing remains firmly in place, while damage to the wound during changing is minimized.
The hydrocellular foam layer is highly absorbent and effectively retains exudate, which is essential for a clean and moist wound environment. The PUR top layer is breathable and water-resistant, allowing air to circulate freely and protecting the wound from external moisturizers. This helps to prevent maceration of the wound edges and promotes a healthy healing environment.
This foam dressing is flexible and stretchable, so it conforms perfectly to the contours of your body. The dressing is also cuttable, meaning you can easily tailor it to specific wound locations. This dressing is 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 is available in a variety of sizes and provides long-lasting protection and comfort.
What are the benefits of Allevyn Gentle foam dressing?
