Allevyn Gentle Border is an advanced, multipurpose wound dressing engineered for delicate or fragile skin. Crafted with triple-layer technology, it combines a highly absorbent hydrocellular foam pad, a perforated silicone gel adhesive contact layer, and a breathable, waterproof outer film. This design ensures optimal moist wound healing, secure adhesion, and minimal trauma upon removal. Suitable for a wide range of wound types—from surgical wounds and first- and second-degree burns to diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, skin tears, donor sites, and more.
