Buy the Allevyn Gentle foam dressing 10 x 20 cm 10 pieces for optimal wound healing
The Allevyn Gentle Foam Dressing 10 x 20 cm offers you the ideal solution for the care of moderately to heavily exuding wounds. This sterile foam dressing consists of three important layers: a silicone wound contact layer, a hydrocellular foam layer and a breathable PUR top layer. The silicone wound contact layer is gentle on vulnerable skin, keeps the foam dressing firmly in place and minimizes damage to the wound during changing.
The hydrocellular foam layer efficiently absorbs and retains exudate, managing wound fluid and promoting a moist wound environment essential for proper healing. The PUR top layer is water-resistant and breathable, allowing air to circulate and protecting the wound from external factors, while reducing maceration of the wound edges.
The foam dressing is flexible and stretchable, so it easily adapts to the body contours. It is also cuttable, so you can tailor it to your specific wound location. This dressing is suitable for various applications, such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, surgical wounds, burns and more.
Available in a variety of sizes, the Allevyn Gentle foam dressing provides comfort and long-lasting protection for your wound.
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.
- PUR top layer : The breathable, water-resistant outer layer protects the wound from external contamination, while allowing moisture to escape from the wound to the outside to prevent maceration.
- Flexible and cuttable : The foam dressing adapts to the body contours and can be easily cut to size, making it suitable for areas that are difficult to bandage.
- Use under compression : The dressing can be used under compression bandages, making it a versatile option for the treatment of complex wounds.
