ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite - Silicone Gel Adhesive Hydrocellular Foam Dressing, 10cm x 10cm, 1 bx/10 dressings

ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite Dressings have been specially designed for people with sensitive or fragile skin who have light to moderately exuding wounds. These dressings, which come in a range of shapes and sizes, combine thinner foam that is delicate and comfortable to wear with the gentleness of a silicone adhesive for minimal pain on removal.

ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite Silicone Gel Adhesive Hydrocellular Foam Dressing

  • Conformable and light
  • Easily molds to body contours and hard to dress areas
  • Showerproof dressing
  • Contains a thinner foam core
  • Minimal pain on removal

ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite delivers fluid management via the unique triple-action technology which absorbs, retains and transpires the optimal balance of fluid. This optimises the moist wound environment and helps to promote healing. ALLEVYN Gentle Border lite has a thinner foam core but still provides all the benefits of ALLEVYN Gentle Border:

  • Ability to mould easily to the contours of awkward body areas
  • Easy to apply - can be lifted and repositioned without losing its adherent properties
  • Shower-proof dressing to enhance patient quality of life
  • Silicone wound contact layer which helps to minimise pain on removal - ideal for patients with fragile skin
  • Top film is an effective bacterial barrier - helping to minimise the risk of infection from external contaminants

Benefits of ALLEVYN Gentle Border

  • Provides a bacterial barrier: May help reduce risk of infection
  • Extensible and flexible: Easily molds to body contours and hard to dress areas

Indications

ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite is indicated for wound management by secondary intention on shallow, granulating wounds, chronic and acute low exuding wounds full and partial thickness wounds including:

  • Skin tears
  • Pressure ulcers
  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Leg ulcers
  • Fungating wounds
  • Infected wounds
  • Malignant wounds
  • Surgical wounds
  • Donor sites
  • First and second degree burns

Application

Cleanse the wound in accordance with normal procedures. Select appropriate dressing size. ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite can be cut to dress awkward areas. Always use a clean technique when cutting the dressing. Prepare and clean the skin surrounding the wound area and remove excess moisture. Any excess hair should be clipped to ensure close approximation to the wound. Remove one of the protector films and anchor the adhesive side of the dressing to the skin.

Remove the remaining protector film and smooth the dressing over the remainder of the wound without stretching, ensuring there are no creases. The pad area of the dressing must be adhered across the entire surface of the wound. The dressing can be lifted and repositioned without losing its adherent properties. If the dressing has been cut ensure any exposed foam areas are covered with an appropriate film dressing taking care not to cover the entire dressing.

Frequency of change

During the early stages of wound management ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite should be inspected according to local clinical protocol. 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, except the sacral area where dressings can be left in place for up to 5 days, depending on the condition of the wound and the surrounding skin or until exudate is visible and approaches to within 0.5cm of the edge of the dressing pad, whichever is sooner. The decision of when to change should be dependent upon clinical assessment and local protocols should also be taken into consideration.

Removal

To remove ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite, lift one corner of the dressing and slowly peel back until completely removed from the wound.

Precautions

Do not use ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite dressing with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite solutions (e.g. EUSOL) or hydrogen peroxide, as these can breakdown the absorbent polyurethane component of the dressing. If reddening or sensitization occur discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
