ALLEVYN◊ Gentle Dressing - 8" x 20", 10/bx, 6 bx/cs

The ALLEVYN◊ Gentle dressing is a hydrocellular foam wound management solution incorporating a soft silicone gel adhesive. Engineered for patients with fragile or sensitive skin, the dressing features a triple-action technology that balances absorption, retention, and moisture vapor transmission. By maintaining a moist wound environment, the foam structure supports autolytic debridement and effective exudate management, while the silicone adhesive ensures a secure, gentle fit that minimizes trauma during dressing changes.

Please note: All prices are for cases.

Key Features

Triple-Action Technology: Manages fluid through a combination of a breathable top film, a highly absorbent hydrocellular foam core, and a non-adherent wound contact layer.

Gentle Silicone Adhesive: Provides secure adhesion that is gentle on fragile skin, allowing for atraumatic removal and repositioning during application.

Optimal Moisture Balance: Creates and maintains a moist wound environment that promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of maceration.

Conformable Construction: Soft and flexible design easily adapts to anatomical contours, ensuring patient comfort even on awkward body areas.

Bacterial and Waterproof Barrier: The outer layer prevents strike-through and protects the wound from external contaminants and fluids.

Soft Foam Protection: Provides a cushioning effect to protect the wound from further mechanical injury or pressure.

Ideal Clinical Applications

Lightly to Moderately Exuding Wounds: Optimized for wounds that require reliable fluid management without drying out the wound bed.

Sensitive or Fragile Skin: Ideal for elderly patients or those with skin conditions where traditional adhesives might cause stripping or trauma.

Extensive Surgical Sites: Perfectly suited for long orthopedic or abdominal incisions and donor sites requiring a larger footprint.

Large Traumatic Wounds: Effective for extensive skin tears, abrasions, or minor burns requiring significant coverage.
