Clearance - Allevyn Gentle Border (17.5cm x 17.5cm)

Allevyn Gentle Border from Smith & Nephew is a silicone foam dressing for minor wounds, sized 17.5cm x 17.5cm and listed here as a clearance line. It pairs a gentle silicone gel adhesive wound contact layer with a hydrocellular foam core, so it holds in place during wear and lifts away without sticking to the wound at a change. A breathable, showerproof top film covers the dressing.
