Allevyn Gentle Border Lite, 5 x 5 Centimeter

Smith Allevyn Gentle Border Lite Foam Dressing (5 x 5 cm)

The Allevyn Gentle Border Lite is a thin, low-profile silicone-bordered foam wound dressing designed for lightly to moderately exuding wounds. Measuring 5 x 5 centimeters (about 2 x 2 inches), it's especially well suited for fragile and sensitive skin, making it a smart choice for older adults, delicate skin areas, and anyone who needs gentle wound care without the trauma of aggressive adhesives.

This dressing works by sustaining a moist wound environment, which advanced clinical research shows can help wounds heal faster and more comfortably. Its flexible foam core conforms to curved and hard-to-dress areas, while the showerproof silicone adhesive holds securely, even when wet, and lifts away gently at removal so it doesn't tear delicate skin. Because the silicone border lets you reposition the dressing without losing adhesion, application is simple and forgiving. It also forms a bacterial barrier that helps lower the risk of infection, and can stay in place for up to one week for fewer dressing changes.

This listing is for the 5 x 5 cm size and is available in multiple purchase options, from a Single dressing to a Box of 10 or a Case of 60, so you can stock up based on how often you change dressings. Many home wound-care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred quantity below to add it to your cart.
