Allevyn® Gentle Border Lite Thin Silicone Foam Dressing — 5 x 5 cm (2" x 2")

For wounds on fragile, sensitive, or peri-wound skin where trauma at dressing changes is a real concern, Allevyn® Gentle Border Lite offers a clinically proven solution. This thin silicone foam dressing from Smith & Nephew combines a soft, conformable foam core with a gentle silicone gel adhesive border — delivering effective exudate management and a moist wound healing environment without the pain and skin stripping associated with traditional adhesive dressings. The 5 x 5 cm size is ideal for smaller wounds, superficial abrasions, and wounds in anatomically challenging locations.

Key Features

• Gentle Silicone Gel Adhesive Border — Adheres securely to intact peri-wound skin while remaining atraumatic on removal, minimizing pain and skin damage at dressing changes
• Repositionable Without Losing Adhesion — Silicone adhesive allows the dressing to be lifted and repositioned during application without compromising its ability to stay in place
• Thin, Conformable Foam Core — Flexible foam construction adapts to curved body surfaces, joints, and irregular anatomical areas for consistent contact with the wound bed
• Moist Wound Healing Environment — Advanced foam technology maintains optimal moisture balance to support faster wound healing and tissue regeneration
• Showerproof — Water-resistant construction stays in place during showering, supporting patient hygiene without compromising dressing integrity
• Bacterial Barrier — Provides protection against external contaminants and bacteria, reducing the risk of secondary wound infection
• Up to 7-Day Wear Time — Extended wear reduces dressing change frequency, lowering caregiver burden and minimizing wound bed disruption
• Safe for Fragile & Sensitive Skin — Designed for use on elderly patients, radiation-damaged skin, and other populations where skin integrity is compromised
• Care and Removal- For maximum skin integrity on exceptionally fragile or geriatric skin, use a non-irritating solvent like Smith & Nephew Remove Wipes to seamlessly dissolve border adhesive during weekly dressing changes.

Clinical Applications

• Superficial and partial-thickness wounds on fragile or sensitive skin
• Pressure injuries (Stage 1–2) and skin tears
• Post-operative wounds and sutured incisions requiring a low-trauma dressing
• Wounds in difficult anatomical locations requiring a conformable, thin profile
• Peri-wound skin protection in patients at risk of adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI)
