Product Benefits:

Suitable for use on fragile or sensitive skin(6,9) where low to moderate absorbency is required.
Dressings can be left in place for up to 7 days reducing the need for frequent changes and allowing the wound to heal undisturbed.
Waterproof REACTIC top film allows showering(2) and acts as a bacterial barrier preventing fluid, bacteria and dirt from entering the wound.(10-11)
The hydrocellular foam core balances absorption and retention to create a moist wound healing environment.
Gentle silicone wound contact layer is non-adherent to the wound, minimally disruptive to healing tissue, low-allergenic(9), and provides secure adhesion.(8-12)
Can be applied on difficult to dress areas(6) like joints, while minimizing skin trauma and pain upon removal.(7-8)
Gentle silicone allows the dressing be lifted and repositioned.(6-13)

Directions

How do I use ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite Dressings?

1. Wash hands before and after treating the wound. Gently clean the wound and the surrounding skin. Gently clean the wound and the surrounding skin with clean water and remove any visible dirt or debris.
2. Clean and dry the skin surrounding the wound and clip any excess hair close to the wound.
3. Ensure the absorbent pad area covers the entire wound or area to be protected before applying the dressing.
4. Open the pouch by peeling apart the flaps. Remove the dressing.
5. Start to remove the backing paper from the dressing.
6. Anchor the adhesive side of the dressing to the skin.
7. Smooth the dressing over the wound, removing the remaining backing paper.
8. Ensure the dressing is flat to the wound, free from creasing and has adhered all around the wound. The dressing may be repositioned as required.

ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite Dressings can be cut to fit smaller wounds or awkward areas. However, cutting the dressing compromises its bacterial barrier and waterproof 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.

Warnings

Care should be taken when using the dressing under medical devices near the nose and mouth, where moisture can build up and affect adherence, leading to dressing movement.
Due to the gentle adhesive used, do not use this dressing to secure other medical devices to the patient.
If reddening or sensitisation occurs discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Whilst showering, care must be taken to avoid wetting of the dressing. Do not expose to direct spray or submerge. Do not use with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite solutions (e.g., EUSOL) or hydrogen peroxide as these can reduce the absorbency of the dressing.
ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite is a single use product. If used on more than one patient, cross contamination or infection may occur. Opening the dressing pack compromises the sterile barrier therefore any unused dressing should not be retained for use at a later date. If used on infected wounds, the infection should be managed as per local clinical protocol.
