The sacrum is a high-risk location for pressure injuries and skin breakdown, and its complex contours—including the gluteal cleft—make it difficult for standard dressings to stay securely in place. Fragile or compromised skin in this area requires a dressing that conforms to the anatomy without aggressive adhesives that can strip delicate skin and cause trauma during changes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Smith \u0026amp; Nephew Allevyn Gentle Border Sacrum Dressing is designed to address these needs. This 8.5\" x 9\" sterile dressing features a unique, anatomically pre-shaped design with a tail extension that fits around the gluteal fold, ensuring a secure, conformable fit in this hard-to-dress area . The triple-layer construction combines an absorbent hydrocellular foam pad with a gentle silicone gel adhesive wound contact layer and a breathable, waterproof top film .
