What is 5466800898-Box Allevyn Gentle Foam Border Sacrum 6-5/8 X 6-3/4?
The 5466800898-Box Allevyn Gentle Foam Border Sacrum 6-5/8 X 6-3/4 is a medical-grade cushioning pad engineered for sacral pressure-relief. Constructed from a thin layer of Allevyn’s proprietary gentle-foam, the pad conforms to the body while maintaining a low profile that fits under most dressings or bedding. Its dimensions—6-5/8 inches wide by 6-3/4 inches long—target the sacrum, a common site for pressure ulcers in bedridden or wheelchair-bound patients. The product is sold by Diabetesstore and priced at $14.69, offering an affordable option for home health agencies, wound-care clinics, and individual caregivers seeking reliable pressure redistribution.
The gentle-foam core is engineered to absorb micro-shocks and maintain a stable surface temperature, which helps preserve tissue viability during prolonged wear. The pad is disposable but can be stacked for added cushioning when needed, and it meets ISO-standard criteria for medical dressings.

Is Allevyn Gentle Foam Border Sacrum 6-5/8 X 6-3/4 right for you?
Buy this pad if you need a quick, low-profile sacral cushion for patients with mild-to-moderate pressure-relief needs. No special training is required; simply place the pad beneath dressings or bedding. For reusable options, consider silicone sacral cushions or multi-layered foam pads. If higher thickness is needed, thicker pressure-relief mattresses may be more appropriate.
How it compares: Compared with bulk sacral cushions, this Allevyn pad offers similar pressure redistribution in a much thinner form, allowing it to be used under dressings. It is less expensive than reusable silicone pads and avoids the adhesive irritation of gel pads, positioning it as a budget-friendly, disposable option for routine sacral care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the Allevyn Gentle Foam Border Sacrum pad?
▾
The Allevyn Gentle Foam Border Sacrum pad is intended to provide localized pressure relief to the sacral region, which is a common site for pressure ulcers in immobile patients. Its thin foam core distributes load evenly, helping to maintain tissue perfusion and reduce the risk of skin breakdown during extended periods of lying or sitting.
Does the pad require any special cleaning?
▾
The Allevyn pad is designed as a disposable, single-use product, so routine cleaning is not necessary. If a pad is reused within a short timeframe, a gentle wipe with a mild antiseptic solution is sufficient, but manufacturers generally recommend discarding after each patient to maintain hygiene standards.
How long can the pad be used before replacement?
▾
Because the pad is thin and intended for single-use applications, it is typically replaced after each dressing change or every 24-48 hours of continuous wear, whichever occurs first. Extended use may diminish its cushioning ability and increase the chance of skin maceration.
Is the pad compatible with standard hospital mattresses?
▾
The Allevyn sacral pad fits comfortably on most hospital-grade mattresses, foam overlays, and wheelchair cushions because of its low-profile design. It does not interfere with mattress pressure-mapping systems and can be positioned beneath standard dressings without altering the overall bed setup.
Can the pad be stacked for extra cushioning?
▾
Yes, multiple Allevyn pads can be stacked to increase thickness when a higher level of cushioning is required, such as for patients with more severe pressure-relief needs. Stacking should not exceed two layers to preserve breathability and prevent excessive bulk under the dressing.
