Order Allevyn AG Gentle Border foam dressing 7.5 x 7.5 cm for sensitive and infected wounds
The Allevyn AG Gentle Border Foam Dressing 7.5 x 7.5 cm is ideal for treating moderately to heavily exuding infected wounds, such as a red wound, or wounds at increased risk of infection. Thanks to the integrated silver, this foam dressing provides a powerful antimicrobial effect, while the silicone gel wound contact layer ensures painless removal, making it ideal for wounds with sensitive surrounding skin.
The sterile foam dressing efficiently absorbs wound fluid and retains it in the hydrocellular core, which ensures an optimal moisture balance. This creates a moist wound environment that promotes healing. The waterproof polyurethane film layer prevents the leakage of wound fluid and protects the wound from bacteria and external influences, while excess fluid can evaporate thanks to the breathable properties of the film.
With its soft silicone gel wound contact layer, this foam dressing prevents adhesion to the wound, minimizing discomfort during dressing changes. The silver in the dressing releases controlled antimicrobial protection for 7 days, helping to fight infection.
For effective wound care without discomfort, Allevyn AG Gentle Border Foam Dressing is the perfect choice for sensitive and infected wounds.
What are the benefits of Allevyn AG Gentle Border foam dressing?
The Allevyn AG Gentle Border foam dressing offers numerous benefits to both the patient and the practitioner. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Antimicrobial Protection with Silver : This foam dressing contains silver, which provides broad spectrum antimicrobial action. The controlled release of silver helps fight bacteria and infection for up to 7 days, significantly reducing the risk of infection.
- Non-adherent Silicone Gel Wound Contact Layer : The silicone wound contact layer does not adhere to the wound itself, allowing for painless removal without disrupting healing. This makes it an excellent choice for patients with sensitive or fragile skin.
- Hydrocellular core with high absorption capacity : The core of the foam dressing absorbs and retains wound fluid in its microscopic structure, keeping the wound dry and promoting healing. This also reduces the risk of maceration (softening of the skin around the wound).
- Waterproof polyurethane (PUR) top layer : The top layer of the foam dressing is waterproof and prevents moisture or bacteria from outside from entering the wound. At the same time, the film is breathable, so that excess wound fluid can evaporate, which further reduces the risk of wound edge softening.
- Creates a moist wound environment : Maintaining a moist environment is essential for proper wound healing. This foam dressing prevents the wound from drying out, often leading to faster healing.
- Long-lasting effect : The foam dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the amount of wound fluid, reducing the need for frequent dressing changes and allowing the wound to heal.
- Comfortable and flexible : The silicone gel wound contact layer and soft foam make the dressing comfortable to wear, even on difficult to bandage areas. It is designed to adapt to the body contours, which increases wearing comfort.
- All-round adhesive for extra stability : The foam dressing has an all-round adhesive border that ensures that it stays firmly in place, even when moving. This reduces the risk of the dressing coming loose due to friction from clothing or bedding.
For which wounds do I use Allevyn AG Gentle Border foam dressing?
The Allevyn AG Gentle Border foam dressing is ideal for the treatment of various types of wounds that are moderately to heavily exuding and have an increased risk of infection. This foam dressing is particularly suitable for:
- Infected wounds : The silver in the foam dressing fights bacteria and helps to heal infected wounds.
- Wounds at risk of infection : For wounds that are prone to infection, such as pressure ulcers or surgical wounds, the antimicrobial effect of silver provides additional protection.
- Moderately to heavily exuding wounds : The foam dressing can absorb large amounts of wound fluid, making it ideal for wounds that produce a lot of exudate.
- Granulating wounds : These are wounds that are in the phase of wound healing where granulation tissue is being formed. The foam dressing provides a moist environment that supports this process.
- Wounds with sensitive surrounding skin : Thanks to the soft silicone gel wound contact layer, the foam dressing is ideal for wounds with sensitive or fragile skin, as removing the dressing does not cause any pain.
