Description
The Smith & Nephew Allevyn Gentle Border dressing (12.5 cm x 12.5 cm) is designed for moderately exuding wounds that require a larger coverage area, such as mid-stage pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and broader surgical wounds. The gentle silicone adhesive border provides a confident, comfortable seal around the wound without the tearing or pain commonly associated with acrylic-adhesive dressings — an important consideration in patients on anticoagulants or with corticosteroid-thinned skin. Multi-layer foam construction efficiently absorbs and retains wound fluid throughout the wear period. Box of 10 sterile dressings.
