The ALLEVYN Gentle Border Multisite Classic Foam Dressing is an innovative wound care solution designed to fit anatomically challenging areas of the body, providing superior comfort, protection, and healing for a variety of wound types. This dressing features a unique shape and advanced triple-layer construction that offers excellent absorbency, breathability, and flexibility. With its soft silicone adhesive border, the ALLEVYN Gentle Border Multisite dressing ensures gentle adherence, minimizing trauma during removal while securely staying in place.

Key Features:

• Unique Multisite Shape: Specifically designed to conform to difficult areas such as the heel, shoulder, and sacrum, the dressing’s versatile shape allows it to fit securely in areas where traditional dressings might not adhere as well.

• Triple-Layer Construction:

  1. Breathable Top Film: A waterproof, moisture-vapor-permeable outer layer protects the wound from external contaminants while allowing moisture vapor to escape, preventing maceration.
  2. Highly Absorbent Foam Core: The absorbent foam layer effectively manages exudate, locking moisture away from the wound bed to maintain an ideal moist environment for faster healing.
  3. Soft Silicone Contact Layer: The gentle silicone wound contact layer adheres softly to the skin, ensuring minimal pain or trauma during dressing changes. It prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound itself, promoting a painless removal.

• Gentle Silicone Adhesive Border: The dressing features a soft, silicone adhesive border that sticks lightly but securely to the skin, even in contoured areas. It minimizes irritation and discomfort while ensuring the dressing stays in place, even during movement.

• Flexible and Conformable: The dressing’s flexible design allows it to easily mold to challenging areas like elbows, knees, and heels, ensuring effective coverage and support without limiting patient mobility.

• Exudate Management: ALLEVYN Gentle Border Multisite is highly absorbent, making it ideal for wounds with moderate to high levels of exudate. It prevents excess moisture from accumulating in the wound, reducing the risk of maceration and promoting a balanced healing environment.

• Long Wear Time: The dressing can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on the level of exudate. This reduces the need for frequent dressing changes, providing continuous wound protection and reducing patient discomfort.

Benefits:

• Versatile Application: The unique multisite shape is designed for anatomically challenging areas, making it easier to treat wounds on areas like heels, shoulders, or the sacrum. This tailored fit provides a secure and comfortable dressing solution for hard-to-dress areas.

• Gentle and Painless to Remove: Thanks to the soft silicone adhesive, ALLEVYN Gentle Border Multisite is easy to remove without causing damage to the wound or surrounding skin. This makes it ideal for patients with sensitive skin or those who require frequent dressing changes.

• Enhanced Healing Environment: The triple-layer construction creates the ideal moist wound healing environment while managing exudate effectively. By keeping the wound hydrated and protected, the dressing helps accelerate healing and reduce the risk of complications.

• Waterproof and Bacteria-Resistant: The outer film is waterproof, offering protection from shower water and preventing bacteria from entering the wound, ensuring it remains clean and protected throughout wear.

• Comfortable for Extended Wear: The soft, conformable material and extended wear time allow patients to remain comfortable during their daily activities, without worrying about the dressing becoming dislodged or causing irritation.

Indications for Use:

ALLEVYN Gentle Border Multisite Classic Foam Dressing is suitable for a wide range of acute and chronic wounds, particularly those located on hard-to-dress areas. It is ideal for:

• Traumatic wounds (cuts, lacerations)

Application:

1. Preparation: Clean the wound using an appropriate wound cleanser or saline solution. Gently dry the surrounding skin to ensure proper adhesion.
2. Application: Select the correct size and shape of the dressing to fit the wound. Remove the protective backing and position the dressing over the wound, ensuring the absorbent pad covers the wound bed and the silicone adhesive border adheres to the surrounding skin.
3. Wear Time: The dressing can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on the amount of exudate. It should be inspected regularly and changed when necessary.
4. Removal: When it’s time to remove the dressing, gently lift the silicone border to avoid damaging the wound or surrounding skin.
