Allevyn Gentle Border Silicone Foam Dressing 10 x 10cm Single by Smith & Nephew
Description:
ALLEVYN Gentle Border is a range of versatile foam dressings to suit multiple wound types, providing an optimal moist environment for positive wound outcomes.
ALLEVYN Gentle Border has a unique triple layer that helps to effectively manage exudate helping to ensure that the wound is kept at optimum moisture levels to support moist wound healing.
The ALLEVYN Gentle Border range has been designed for people with particularly sensitive or fragile skin. These dressings have a Gentle silicone gel adhesive which minimises trauma to the wound at dressing change.
ALLEVYN layer-action technology maintains a moist wound environment.
Conformable dressing
Minimises trauma and pain during dressing change.
Easy to apply, use and remove.
Dressings are showerproof and have a bacterial barrier.
ALLEVYN Gentle Border dressings are indicated for use on:
1. Wound management on shallow, granulating wounds, chronic and acute exudative wounds, full and partial thickness wounds including:
- Pressure ulcers
- Leg ulcers
- Diabetic Foot Ulcers
- Surgical wounds
- First and second-degree burns
- Donor sites
- Skin tears
- Fungating ulcers
2. Pressure ulcer prevention on intact skin, including pressure ulcers caused by medical devices, as part of a pressure ulcer prevention protocol.
Usage Directions:
1. Cleanse the wound in accordance with normal procedures.
2. Select the appropriate dressing size.
3. Prepare and clean the skin surrounding the wound area by removing excess moisture. Any excess hair should be clipped to ensure close approximation to the wound.
4. Start to remove the protector material from the dressing and anchor the adhesive side of the dressing to the skin.
5. Smooth the dressing over the wound removing the remaining protector material and ensure that the dressing is adhered all around the wound.
6. ALLEVYN Gentle Border can be cut, and an aseptic technique should be used with cutting the dressing. Ensure any exposed foam areas are covered with an appropriate film dressing taking care not to cover the entire dressing.
ALLEVYN Gentle Border application
During the early stages of wound management, ALLEVYN Gentle Border dressings should be inspected frequently. Where the product is used on infected wounds, the infection should be inspected and treated as per local clinical protocol.
Dressings can be left in place for up to 7 days depending on the condition of the wound and the surrounding skin or until exudate is visible and approaches to within 1.5cm of the edge of the dressing pad, whichever is sooner.
Dressing Removal:
Lift one corner of the dressing and slowly peel back until completely removed from the wound.
Warnings:
Always read the label. Follow the directions for use.
Do not use ALLEVYN Gentle Border dressings with oxidising agents such as hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide, as these can break down the absorbent polyurethane component of the dressing. If reddening or sensitisation occur discontinue use.
Opening the dressing pack compromises the sterile barrier therefore any unused dressing should not be retained for application later.
