ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite Silicone Gel Adhesive Hydrocellular Foam Dressing is a conformable and light wound dressing. It provides optimal fluid management, lower risk of maceration, extensive wear time and retention, and resistant to leakage.
It easily molds to body contours and hard to dress areas and is showerproof. The bacterial barrier may help reduce risk of infection.
It has a soft silicone adhesive ideal for fragile skin. This also helps ensure minimal pain on removal. In addition to the soft adhesive it also contains a thinner foam core.
