Order ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite Foam Dressing 13.1 x 15.2 cm Oval
ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite Foam Dressing is a high-quality, sterile wound dressing designed for the care of slightly to moderately exuding wounds, especially suitable for sensitive skin. Due to the silicone gel wound contact layer, this foam dressing does not adhere to the wound or surrounding skin, ensuring painless and comfortable removal.
This 13.1 x 15.2 cm oval foam dressing features a unique hydrocellular core that absorbs and retains moisture while allowing excess moisture to evaporate. This creates an optimal moist wound environment, essential for accelerated wound healing. The waterproof polyurethane film layer prevents leakage and protects the wound from bacteria and infection, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
The dressing is adhesive all around, repositionable and easy to apply accurately, which is ideal for sensitive skin areas. The breathable film prevents maceration, which keeps the surrounding skin healthy. This product is perfect for those looking for an effective foam dressing that provides comfortable wound care and smooth wound healing.
In short, the ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite foam dressing offers a complete solution for wound care, without pain and without complications.
What are the benefits of Allevyn Gentle Border Lite foam dressing?
Allevyn Gentle Border Lite has many benefits that make it an excellent choice for wound care, especially for patients with sensitive skin. Some key benefits include:
- Silicone Gel Wound Contact Layer : The silicone wound contact layer prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound, minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes. This makes it ideal for patients with fragile or sensitive skin.
- Hydrocellular core : The foam dressing has a moderately absorbent core that retains wound fluid in its microscopic structure, reducing the risk of infection and keeping the wound clean.
- Waterproof polyurethane (PUR) top layer : This layer prevents the penetration of bacteria and moisture from outside, while excess wound fluid can evaporate from the wound. This helps to keep the wound dry and prevents maceration (the softening of the skin around the wound).
- Creates a moist wound environment : A moist wound environment promotes healing, while the foam dressing prevents the wound from drying out, often leading to faster healing.
- Comfortable and flexible : The soft and flexible design of the foam bandage allows it to easily adapt to body contours, increasing comfort.
- Repositionable and precise application : The foam dressing can be easily reapplied without reducing its adhesive strength, which is particularly useful for difficult-to-dress areas.
- All-round adhesive : Thanks to the adhesive edges, the bandage stays firmly in place, even when moving, ensuring reliable protection and stability.
