Description
ALLEVYN Ag Gentle Border Sacrum Foam Dressing
The ALLEVYN Ag Gentle Border Sacrum Foam Dressing by Smith+Nephew is designed specifically for wounds in the sacral area, offering advanced protection, high absorbency, and long-lasting antimicrobial action. Infused with silver sulfate and built with triple-layered technology, this dressing helps manage exudate while reducing the risk of infection in high-risk pressure ulcers and post-surgical wounds.
Its anatomically contoured shape ensures a secure and comfortable fit around the sacrum, minimizing dressing displacement and providing consistent coverage. The gentle silicone adhesive border protects fragile skin and allows for pain-free dressing changes, making it suitable for long-term and acute care patients.
Effective and Sustained Antimicrobial Action
The dressing contains silver sulfate, which continuously releases silver ions for up to seven days to support infection control. This feature makes the dressing an ideal choice for clinicians managing chronic wounds or pressure ulcers prone to infection.
