Order the Allevyn Gentle Border Lite foam dressing 5 x 5 cm 10 pieces for effective wound care
The Allevyn Gentle Border Lite Foam Dressing 5 x 5 cm is ideal for treating slightly to moderately exuding wounds, especially with sensitive surrounding skin. This foam dressing is adhesive all around and offers you optimum protection thanks to the silicone gel wound contact layer, which does not stick to the wound and ensures painless removal.
The sterile foam dressing consists of a hydrocellular core with a moderate absorption capacity, which effectively retains wound fluid in its microscopic structure. This maintains a healthy moisture balance in the wound, which is essential for good healing. The polyurethane film layer is waterproof and protects against bacteria and moisture from outside, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and infections.
The breathable nature of the foil layer allows excess moisture to evaporate from the foam dressing, preventing maceration (softening of the wound edges). This dressing remains absorbent, even under a pressure bandage, making it suitable for various types of wounds.
The Allevyn Gentle Border Lite Foam Dressing offers long-lasting protection and comfort, and is specially designed to optimize your wound care. Order now for effective wound healing!
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.
