ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite Foam Dressing – Low-Profile, Skin-Friendly Wound Protection

The ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite Foam Dressing by Smith+Nephew is a thin, flexible dressing designed to protect fragile or sensitive skin while effectively managing light-to-moderate wound exudate. Its ultra-low-profile construction and soft silicone adhesive make it an ideal choice for use on delicate skin, including in pediatric, geriatric, and long-term care patients.

This dressing maintains a moist wound environment to support healing while minimizing the risk of trauma during dressing changes. The breathable film layer allows moisture vapor exchange while protecting the wound from external contaminants. Its flexibility and conformability make it suitable for curved or mobile body areas, helping to reduce discomfort and improve wear time.
