Smith & Nephew Allevyn Gentle Border Lite Thin Foam Dressing, Square Sterile

Smith & Nephew Allevyn Gentle Border Lite Thin Foam Dressing, Square Sterile

The Smith & Nephew Allevyn Gentle Border Lite Thin Foam Dressing is a square, sterile foam dressing designed for light to moderately exuding wounds on fragile or sensitive skin. Its slim foam core and soft silicone gel border make it an ideal choice for patients who need frequent dressing changes without added trauma to the surrounding skin.

This dressing combines a silicone gel adhesive with a film backing to create a showerproof, flexible barrier that conforms easily to curved or difficult-to-dress areas. The foam core absorbs exudate while maintaining a moist wound environment, which supports faster healing and helps reduce the risk of maceration. The gentle, repositionable adhesive allows for accurate placement without sacrificing hold, and it can remain in place for up to one week, minimizing the number of dressing changes needed.

This Allevyn Gentle Border Lite dressing is available in 2" x 2", 3" x 3", and 4" x 4" sizes — simply select your preferred size above or below to match the size and location of the wound being treated.

Beyond comfort, the dressing forms a bacterial barrier that helps lower the risk of infection, making it a reliable option for post-surgical care, skin tears, pressure injuries, and other wounds requiring a low-trauma, breathable cover. Its thin profile also makes it discreet under clothing, so patients can stay active while their wound heals.
