A gently adhering, highly flexible wound dressing with a silicone gel coating 

Allevyn Gentle Border Lite – particularly flexible and thin, even for the smallest areas of the body. Allevyn Gentle Border Lite is a gently adhering, highly flexible wound dressing with a silicone gel coating. The absorbent foam core supports the management of wounds with low to moderate exudate. The reliable adhesion of this supple and cushioning dressing means no secondary fixation is required. Allevyn Gentle Border Lite is also very well suited to sensitive skin. The waterproof and germ-proof outer film provides secure protection against external bacterial contamination and allows the patient to shower. 

The non-allergenic silicone gel coating of Allevyn Gentle Border Lite ensures a secure and gentle hold and does not slip, even without secondary fixation. As a result, Allevyn Gentle Border Lite offers a high level of comfort. It is easy to apply and remove, ensuring good handling. Atraumatic dressing changes for the wound and surrounding skin minimise pain for the patient. Allevyn Gentle Border Lite is suitable for use on sensitive skin. The dressing adheres across the entire surface of the healthy skin without damaging the wound itself.
