Order the Allevyn Gentle Border Foam Dressing 17.5 x 17.5 cm 10 pieces for optimal wound care
The Allevyn Gentle Border Foam Dressing 17.5 x 17.5 cm offers you the ideal solution for treating moderately to heavily exuding wounds, especially those with sensitive skin. This foam dressing has a silicone gel wound contact layer and adhesive border, which allows it to adhere securely to healthy skin without sticking to the wound. This minimizes pain when changing the dressing.
The hydrocellular core has a high absorption capacity and retains wound fluid in its microscopic structure, which ensures an optimal moisture balance in the wound. The waterproof polyurethane top layer protects against moisture and bacteria from outside and prevents leakage of wound fluid, thus minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and infections. The top layer is also breathable, so that excess moisture can evaporate and softening of the wound edges is prevented.
This foam dressing is flexible and comfortable, adapts well to the body contours and can be used under compression therapy. It is ideal for treating various types of wounds, such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds and burns.
The Allevyn Gentle Border Foam Dressing is available in a variety of sizes and provides long-lasting protection and comfort for your wound care.
What are the benefits of Allevyn Gentle Border foam dressing?
The Allevyn Gentle Border foam dressing offers a number of benefits that contribute to patient comfort and wound healing. Some key benefits include:
- Silicone wound contact layer and adhesive border : These ensure that the dressing adheres firmly to healthy skin without pain or damage when removed. The wound contact layer does not stick to the wound itself, which minimizes pain and trauma.
- High Absorption Hydrocellular Core : This core effectively absorbs wound fluid and retains it in its microscopic structure, helping to keep the wound clean and reduce the risk of infection.
- Waterproof polyurethane top layer : This semi-permeable layer does not allow moisture or bacteria to pass through from outside, while excess wound fluid can evaporate. This prevents softening of the wound edges and protects the wound from external contamination.
- Breathable : The foam dressing is breathable, which helps maintain a balanced wound environment and promote healthy healing.
- Showerproof : The dressing is waterproof, allowing patients to shower with the dressing without it coming loose or leaking.
- Repositionable : The dressing can be easily lifted and repositioned without losing its adhesive strength, increasing ease of use.
- Suitable for compression therapy : Allevyn Gentle Border can be used safely under compression therapy, making it a versatile option for various treatment methods.
