Frequently asked questions
Is this dressing gentle enough for sensitive skin?
Yes, the Allevyn Gentle Border Lite dressing is specifically designed for sensitive skin. Its soft adhesive border minimizes the risk of tearing or irritation during removal, ensuring a gentle healing process.
Does the advanced foam effectively manage wound exudate?
