Allevyn Foam Dressing, 8 x 8 Inch

Smith Allevyn Adhesive Foam Dressing

The Smith Allevyn Adhesive is a soft, absorbent foam wound dressing with a gentle adhesive border, designed for the management of a wide range of exuding wounds. It's a trusted choice for anyone caring for pressure injuries, leg and foot ulcers, surgical wounds, and other moderately to heavily draining wounds at home or in a clinical setting. The self-adhesive design holds the dressing securely in place while its multi-layer foam construction works to keep the wound bed in an optimal healing environment.

Allevyn Adhesive works through a triple-layer system: a soft, conformable adhesive contact layer, a highly absorbent central foam pad that locks away excess fluid, and a waterproof outer film that acts as a bacterial and viral barrier while allowing the wound to breathe. This combination helps manage exudate, reduce the risk of leakage and maceration, and cushion the wound to promote comfort. Because the adhesive border secures the dressing without extra taping, dressing changes are simpler and less disruptive to the skin.

This dressing is available in multiple purchasing options—choose a Single dressing, a Box of 10, or a Case of 20 to match how often you change dressings. As a qualifying wound-care supply, it is typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred option below to add it to your cart.
