Protect fragile skin and manage weeping wounds with the versatile ALLEVYN Gentle Border Soft Silicone Absorbent Foam Dressing. Designed as a reliable, all-round solution, this standard-thickness dressing provides full absorbency and cushioning for active areas. It combines a gentle silicone adhesive with a breathable, shower-proof outer layer, offering comfortable, self-adherent protection that supports a moist healing environment without disrupting delicate tissue.

Key Features

• Full Absorbency & Cushioning: As the standard-thickness option in the range, the hydrocellular foam core provides higher fluid retention and cushioning than lighter alternatives, making it the go-to choice for low to moderate weeping wounds.
• All-In-One Fixation: The integrated silicone border holds securely without requiring secondary tapes or retention bandages, offering reliable wear for mobile or active individuals.
• Sensitive Skin Friendly: A low-allergenic silicone contact layer adheres gently to the surrounding skin but will not stick to the wound bed, minimising pain and tissue trauma during removal or repositioning.
• Shower-Proof Barrier: The REACTIC top film allows for showering while acting as a dependable barrier against external fluid, dirt, and bacteria.
• Extended Wear Time: Can remain in place for up to 7 days depending on the wound condition, helping wounds heal undisturbed while reducing the need for frequent changes.
• Flexible & Adaptable: Flexes easily over difficult areas such as joints and can be cleanly cut to size for custom fitting (measures 7.5cm x 7.5cm).

Suitable For

• Everyday First Aid: Ideal for minor weeping wounds including cuts, lacerations, abrasions, grazes, blisters, and skin tears.
• Minor Burns & Surgical Care: Provides cushioned protection for minor burns, scalds, and post-operative wounds including stitches.
• Clear Exudate Monitoring: Absorbed fluid appears as a darker patch on the surface, making it easy to monitor when a change is needed (replace when fluid approaches within 0.5cm of the dressing edge).
