Allevyn Life Sacrum Foam Dressing, 17.2 x 17.5 Centimeters

Smith Allevyn Life Sacrum Foam Dressing

The Allevyn Life Sacrum Foam Dressing from Smith is an advanced, multi-layer hydrocellular foam dressing shaped specifically for the sacral area. It's designed for people managing pressure injuries, moderately to heavily exuding wounds, or areas at risk of skin breakdown near the tailbone. With its highly absorbent core and cushioning foam layer, this dressing helps protect vulnerable skin while supporting a healthy healing environment.

The dressing's contoured shape and tail design fit neatly around the sacral cleft and help prevent tenting or lifting during everyday movement. A silicone contact layer gently adheres to the skin and minimizes trauma at dressing changes, while the absorbent core locks in fluid and helps reduce odor. The built-in masking layer keeps strike-through visibility low for a more discreet appearance, and the foam layer adds cushioning with pressure redistribution to help protect the area.

Each Allevyn Life Sacrum dressing measures 17.2 x 17.5 centimeters and includes a helpful visual change indicator so you know when it's time for a fresh dressing. It's available in multiple purchase options — a single dressing, a box of 10, or a case of 60 — to suit both individual and clinical needs. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible.
