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 is an excellent choice for the care of moderately to heavily exuding wounds. This sterile foam dressing combines a silicone wound contact layer with a hydrocellular foam layer and a breathable PUR top layer. The silicone wound contact layer is perfect for fragile skin, as the dressing stays firmly in place without causing damage to the wound during changing.
The hydrocellular foam layer offers a high absorption capacity and effectively retains exudate, keeping the wound clean and dry. The PUR top layer is not only water-resistant but also breathable, allowing air to circulate freely. This helps to prevent maceration of the wound edges and supports a healthy, moist wound environment that is essential for faster healing.
The Allevyn Gentle Foam Dressing is flexible, stretchable and conforms easily to the body’s contours. It is also cuttable, allowing you to cut it to size as needed. This dressing is suitable for a wide range of wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds and burns.
The foam dressing is available in different sizes, so you can always find the perfect solution for your 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:

- 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.

- Use under compression : The dressing can be used under compression bandages, making it a versatile option for the treatment of complex wounds.
