Allevyn Gentle Border Lite Silicone Foam Dressing

Smith Allevyn Gentle Border Lite Silicone Foam Dressing

The Allevyn Gentle Border Lite is a thin, flexible silicone foam wound dressing designed for shallow wounds and for people with fragile or sensitive skin. Its gentle silicone adhesive and low-profile foam core make it an excellent choice for anyone who needs reliable coverage that stays comfortable throughout the day, including elderly patients and those prone to skin tears.

This dressing uses advanced foam technology to maintain a moist wound environment that supports faster, healthier healing. The soft foam core absorbs excess exudate while conforming to curved and hard-to-cover areas of the body. The showerproof silicone adhesive keeps the dressing securely in place—even when wet—yet lifts away gently at removal to help protect delicate skin. You can even reposition the dressing during application without losing its hold.

Allevyn Gentle Border Lite creates a bacterial barrier that helps lower the risk of infection, and each dressing can stay in place for up to a week, meaning fewer changes and less disruption. It is available in multiple purchase options—a Single dressing, a Box of 10, or a Case of 60—and is typically FSA/HSA eligible. Choose the quantity that fits your needs from the options below.
