ALLEVYN Ag GENTLE BORDER adhesive silicone foam dressing sterile, 17.5 x 17.5 cm, 10 ST

ALLEVYN Ag GENTLE BORDER: Sterile, adhesive silicone foam dressing with silver for wounds at risk of infection. Gentle adhesion, high absorption & comfortable to wear.

Allevyn Ag Gentle Border is a highly absorbent, antimicrobial and gently adherent wound dressing. The foam core with integrated silver supports the care of infection-prone and infected wounds with moderate to heavy exudation. The flat silicone gel coating including adhesive edge is also very suitable for sensitive skin. The adhesive edge provides a gentle and secure hold and ensures a high level of comfort. Atraumatic dressing changes minimise the patient's pain. Additional fixation is not required.
