Allevyn Triple Action Foam Dressing Technology

Like all Smith & Nephew Allevyn Dressings, Allevyn Gentle Border Lite has at its heart a unique three-layer technology that effectively manages exudate, helping to ensure that the wound is kept at optimum moisture levels to maintain a moist wound environment.

The dressing consists of an absorbent hydrocellular foam pad, held between a perforated wound contact layer which is coated with a soft silicone gel adhesive and a highly permeable outer top film. Allevyn foam dressings achieve their benefits of easy application and removal, and the ability to reposition through an adhesive technology based on a soft silicone gel
 

• On application the silicone gel adhesive on ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite flow into the crevices of the skin allowing more points of contact to stay in place.
• On removal, the gel silicone adhesive stretch and flow out of the crevices of the skin, minimizing the risk of trauma to the wound and pain to the patient.
