ALLEVYN GENTLE BORDER LITE adhesive silicone foam dressing sterile, 5 x 5 cm, 10 ST

The ALLEVYN GENTLE BORDER LITE is a sterile, versatile foam dressing with a silicone adhesive layer. Suitable for lightly exuding wounds and to support the prevention of pressure injuries caused by medical devices.

Gently adherent, 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 softly adhesive, highly flexible wound dressing with a silicone gel coating. The absorbent foam core supports the care of wounds with low to moderate exudation. The reliable adhesion of the conformable and cushioning dressing requires no secondary fixation. Allevyn Gentle Border Lite is also very suitable for sensitive skin. The waterproof and germ-proof outer film offers reliable protection against bacterial contamination from the outside 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 a second fixation. Allevyn Gentle Border Lite is therefore extremely comfortable to wear. Easy application and removal ensures 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 to the entire surface of healthy skin without damaging the wound itself.
