Smith & Nephew Allevyn Gentle Border Lite Silicone Gel Adhesive Foam Dressing, 4-3/4" x 2-1/8

4-3/4" x 2-1/8" Gentle Border Lite Dressing for Fragile Skin and Low Exudate

Product Description

Managing wounds on fragile or sensitive skin, particularly on awkward or narrow areas, requires a dressing that stays securely in place without causing trauma upon removal. Standard adhesive dressings can strip delicate skin, leading to pain and irritation that complicates the healing process. For wounds with low to moderate exudate, patients and caregivers need a thin, conformable solution that is gentle on the skin yet effective at maintaining a moist healing environment
