Gentle adhesion for fragile skin
ALLEVYN Gentle and ALLEVYN Gentle Border minimise 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.
