The ALLEVYN Gentle Border Dressing (7.5 cm x 7.5 cm, pack of 10) is designed for individuals needing effective wound management and comfortable wear. Its key benefit lies in its triple-layer technology that manages exudate while promoting a moist wound healing environment. A potential caveat is its suitability for specific wound types and sizes, requiring careful assessment by a healthcare professional.

The dressing can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on the amount of exudate and the condition of the surrounding skin. It should be changed sooner if leakage occurs or if the dressing becomes soiled.
This dressing is designed for wounds with low to moderate exudate. For dry wounds, a different dressing that provides or retains moisture might be more appropriate.
The outer film is designed to be breathable yet resistant to strike-through, meaning it can withstand showering, but it is not fully waterproof.
It is generally not recommended to cut the ALLEVYN Gentle Border dressing, as this may compromise the sterile barrier and the integrity of the absorbent core.
The silicone gel border ensures gentle adhesion to the skin, minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes, and allowing for repositioning during application.
This dressing is suitable for certain types of wounds including burns, but its use should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the specific characteristics of the burn.
Store unopened dressings in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Ensure the skin surrounding the wound is completely clean and dry. Avoid applying lotions or oils to the skin before application. Ensure the correct size dressing is used and that it is smoothed down firmly.
Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. While designed to be gentle, some individuals may have sensitivities. Ensure the dressing is not applied too tightly.
This may indicate the wound is producing more exudate than the dressing can absorb, or the dressing may not be sealed correctly. Change the dressing more frequently or consult a healthcare professional to assess wound status and consider alternative dressings.
Ensure the wound pad is centered directly over the wound and not in contact with the wound bed itself. The border is designed to adhere to the skin, not the wound. Gentle lifting from the edge of the border should facilitate removal.
