What to buy with Allevyn Gentle Border Hydrocellular Dressings


How to Use Allevyn Gentle Border Heel Foam Dressing?


  • Cleanse the wound in accordance with normal procedures.
  • Select the appropriate dressing size.
  • 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.
  • Start to remove the protector material from the dressing and anchor the adhesive side of the dressing to the skin.
  • Smooth the dressing over the wound removing the remaining protector material and ensure that the dressing adheres all around the wound.
  • Allevyn Gentle Border Heel can be cut and an aseptic technique should be used for cutting the dressing. Ensure any exposed foam areas are covered with an appropriate film dressing taking care not to cover the entire dressing.

Frequency of change in Allevyn Foam Dressing

  • During the early stages of wound management, it should be inspected according to the local clinical protocol.
  • Where the product is used on infected wounds the infection should be inspected and treated as per local clinical protocol.
  • This Allevyn dressing 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 of Allevyn Hydrocellular foam dressing

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

Precautions While Using Allevyn Foam Dressing:

  • Do not use it with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite solutions (e.g. EUSOL) or hydrogen peroxide, as these can break down the absorbent polyurethane component of the dressing.
  • If reddening or sensitisation occurs discontinue use.
  • It is a single-use product.
  • Must not be used for pressure relief independently of pressure relieving devices.
