Smith & Nephew Allevyn Gentle Dressing

Allevyn Gentle Gel Adhesive Hydrocellular Foam Dressing

Versatile and conformable, with a gentle silicone layer for use on fragile skin.

Allevyn Gentle is an adaptable dressing for a wide range of acute and chronic wounds under secondary retention, even in difficult-to-bandage areas.

Featuring a new, gentle silicone contact layer designed for easy lifting and repositioning.

Built to deliver everyday reliability and address the challenge of treating difficult wounds on delicate skin. Allevyn Gentle may be used for up to 7 days, depending on exudate, with potential to minimise the number of dressing changes and save associated nursing time.

Combining new and existing Allevyn technology:

	Suitable for fragile skin – a new gentle silicone contact layer designed to gently hold the dressing in place during bandaging, while minimising wound trauma and patient pain during dressing changes.
	Versatile, to meet your needs – a soft, multi-way stretch dressing that can be cut to size for use on multiple wound types. It conforms to body contours on awkward or mobile anatomical areas with a breathable top film.
	Highly absorbent – hydrocellular foam absorbs high levels of exudate, and can effectively absorb viscous exudate, maintaining absorption under pressure.
	Supports fast healing – promotes a moist healing environment to facilitate wound progression, granulation and epithelialisation whilst helping to minimise the risk of maceration.

Allevyn Gentle is indicated for:

• Pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers
• Shallow granulating and exudative wounds
• Surgical wounds
• First and second degree burns
• Skin graft donor sites and skin tears
