Order the Allevyn Gentle Border Sacrum Foam Dressing 23 x 21.6 cm 10 pieces for reliable sacrum wound care
The Allevyn Gentle Border Sacrum Foam Dressing 23 x 21.6 cm is specially developed for the care of moderately to heavily exuding wounds in the sacrum area. This all-round adhesive foam dressing offers excellent protection for wounds with sensitive surrounding skin, such as pressure ulcers and oncological wounds.
This sterile foam dressing has a silicone gel wound contact layer that does not stick to the wound, allowing for painless and easy removal. The hydrocellular core has a high absorption capacity, effectively retaining wound fluid and maintaining a healthy moisture balance in the wound, promoting healing.
The polyurethane film layer is impermeable to bacteria and moisture from outside, which minimizes the risk of cross-contamination and infection. At the same time, the film is breathable, so that excess wound fluid can evaporate, which helps to prevent maceration (softening of the wound edges).
This specially shaped foam dressing offers long-term protection and comfort, and is suitable for wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and oncological wounds. Thanks to its flexible structure, the dressing remains well in place in the sacral region.

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.
