Description
The ALLEVYN Gentle Border Classic Foam Dressing is a premium wound care solution, designed to offer superior healing support for moderately to highly exuding wounds. With its gentle silicone adhesive and advanced multi-layer construction, this dressing provides optimal wound protection while ensuring maximum comfort for patients with sensitive or fragile skin. It is ideal for use in a wide range of clinical environments, delivering reliable results without compromising on comfort or performance.
Key Features:
-
Gentle Silicone Adhesive: The dressing is equipped with a soft silicone adhesive border that gently adheres to the skin without causing pain or trauma upon removal. This makes it suitable for patients with delicate or sensitive skin, as it minimizes discomfort and the risk of skin damage.
-
Triple-Layer Technology:
- Breathable Top Film: The outer film layer is highly breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape while protecting the wound from external contaminants like bacteria and fluids.
- Highly Absorbent Foam Core: At the heart of the dressing is a hydrocellular foam core that absorbs and retains wound exudate, maintaining a moist wound environment conducive to faster healing.
- Soft Contact Layer: The gentle silicone adhesive layer ensures secure yet non-aggressive adhesion, reducing the risk of maceration and discomfort, while allowing easy repositioning if needed.
-
Long Wear Time: The ALLEVYN Gentle Border Classic can be worn for up to 7 days, depending on the wound's level of exudate. This long-lasting wear time reduces the frequency of dressing changes, promoting undisturbed healing and reducing patient discomfort.
-
Flexible and Conformable: The dressing is designed to conform closely to body contours, including difficult areas like elbows, heels, and sacrum, ensuring that it stays in place securely while allowing patients to move comfortably.
-
Moisture Control: ALLEVYN Gentle Border Classic Foam Dressing is designed to manage exudate effectively, keeping the wound bed moist for optimal healing while preventing the wound from becoming overhydrated, which could lead to maceration of surrounding tissue.
Benefits:
- Gentle and Painless: Ideal for patients with fragile skin, the silicone adhesive is designed to reduce pain during dressing changes, making it an excellent option for sensitive areas.
- Highly Absorbent: The foam core quickly absorbs excess wound fluid, helping to reduce the risk of leakage and protect surrounding skin from maceration.
- Reduced Risk of Infection: The breathable top film layer acts as a barrier to bacteria while allowing the wound to "breathe," maintaining a controlled environment for healing.
- Versatile and Comfortable: The dressing's conformability makes it suitable for a variety of wound types and locations, providing a snug, secure fit even on hard-to-dress areas.
Indications for Use:
The ALLEVYN Gentle Border Classic Foam Dressing is suitable for a wide range of wound types, including:
- Pressure ulcers (stage I to IV)
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Venous and arterial leg ulcers
- Post-operative wounds
- Traumatic wounds (cuts, abrasions, lacerations)
- Superficial burns
- Skin tears and fragile skin conditions
Application:
The dressing can be applied to clean, dry skin and adjusted or repositioned without losing its adhesive properties. Its border provides a secure seal without the need for additional fixation, simplifying the dressing process for both healthcare providers and patients.
ALLEVYN Gentle Border Classic Foam Dressing offers the perfect balance of gentle adhesion, high absorbency, and extended wear time, making it ideal for patients with fragile skin who require a reliable, comfortable dressing for their wound care needs.
