Allevyn Adhesive with Border Foam Dressing, 5 x 5 Inch

The Allevyn Adhesive with Border Foam Dressing from Smith & Nephew is a triple-layer foam wound dressing designed to absorb excess fluid while keeping the wound bed moist to support natural healing. Featuring an integrated adhesive border, this dressing is ideal for caregivers and patients managing a wide range of wounds, including burns, diabetic ulcers, and shallow injuries. Its combination of high absorbency and a secure, gentle border makes it a dependable choice for effective wound management at home or in a clinical setting.

This dressing works through its three-layer construction, which draws away excess exudate while maintaining an optimal moist wound environment. A nonsensitizing adhesive holds the dressing firmly in place without disrupting the wound or surrounding skin during application or removal. The breathable top layer allows airflow to help speed healing, while the flexible material conforms comfortably to bodily contours for a reliable, close fit. Together, these features create a protective barrier against bacteria and fluid strikethrough, helping keep the wound clean and secure between changes.

This Allevyn Adhesive dressing measures 5 x 5 inches (12.5 x 12.5 centimeters) and is available in multiple purchase options, including a single dressing, a box of 10, and a case of 40 to suit your needs and budget.
