ALLEVYN◊ Confidence

ALLEVYN◊ Gentle and ALLEVYN◊ Gentle Border give you all the benefits of triple-action technology.

1.  Transpires enough fluid to keep the dressing comfortable and conformable 

2.  Retains enough fluid to keep a healthily moist wound environment

3.  Absorbs enough fluid to remove unwanted exudate and cellular debris


Gentle adhesion for fragile skin

ALLEVYN◊ Gentle and ALLEVYN◊ Gentle Border dressings may reduce pain to the patient and trauma to
the wound at dressing change due to the unique benefits of Silicone gel and Soft gel adhesives.
 

On application the gel adhesives on ALLEVYN◊ Gentle and ALLEVYN◊ Gentle Border flow into the crevices of the skin allowing more points of contact to stay in place.

   On removal, the gel adhesives stretch and flow out of the crevices of the skin, minimising the risk of trauma to the wound and pain to the patient.
