Smith & Nephew ALLEVYN™ Gentle Border Hydrocellular Foam Dressing, Silicone Gel Adhesive (3-Layer), Heel, 23cm x 23.2cm

Smith & Nephew ALLEVYN™ Gentle Border Hydrocellular Foam Dressing, Silicone Gel Adhesive (3-Layer), Heel, 23cm x 23.2cm

Designed for patients with sensitive or fragile skin, ALLEVYN™ Gentle Border combines advanced hydrocellular foam technology with a soft silicone gel adhesive — delivering effective exudate management and atraumatic removal in a single, conformable dressing. The heel-specific shape ensures secure coverage over one of the most challenging wound sites, reducing the risk of shear and dressing displacement.

Key Clinical Benefits:

• Gentle on Fragile Skin — Soft silicone gel adhesive minimizes trauma and pain at every dressing change, supporting patient comfort and compliance.
• Effective Exudate Management — Hydrocellular foam pad absorbs and locks in wound fluid, maintaining an optimal moist healing environment.
• Waterproof & Showerproof — Highly permeable outer film protects the wound from external contamination while allowing moisture vapour transmission.
• Heel-Contoured Fit — Anatomically shaped to conform securely to the heel, reducing lifting and leakage in high-movement areas.
• Clinician-Friendly Design — Easy application and removal saves time at dressing changes and reduces patient anxiety.

Triple-Layer Construction:

• Layer 1 — Absorbent Hydrocellular Foam Pad: Locks in exudate away from the wound bed.
• Layer 2 — Perforated Silicone Gel Adhesive Wound Contact Layer: Gentle on wound bed and periwound skin; allows non-traumatic removal.
• Layer 3 — Highly Permeable Waterproof Outer Film with Adhesive Border: Seals and protects while maintaining breathability.
