• Reusable after washing
• Easy to cut for different body areas for example torso, arms and legs
• Choice of two colours for patient acceptability

 

Areas of Use: 

Wet wrapping is a therapy used in the treatment of atopic eczema, and involves the use of an emollient under retention bandaging. This can be done using the emollient Epaderm® Ointment together with Tubifast garments with TwoWay Stretch technology or Tubifast TwoWay Stretch bandages. An emollient is applied to the affected skin, which is then covered with a damp Tubifast garment with TwoWay Stretch technology or bandage. Working together, the emollient and the damp layer keep the skin hydrated and moist, and help reduce inflammation. The moistened Tubifast garment with TwoWay Stretch technology or bandage also acts as a retaining layer, ensuring that the emollient stays in contact with the skin. This layer also cools and soothes the skin, helping reduce the itch. A second, dry layer is then applied, which keeps the patient’s clothing dry; preventing further scratching and potential injury or aggravation of the skin condition. Dry wrapping is a similar process to wet wrapping. An emollient is applied to the affected skin, which is then covered with a single, dry layer of Tubifast garment with TwoWay Stretch technology or bandage.

The ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite Foam Dressing is a highly advanced, lightweight wound care solution designed to offer gentle yet effective protection for low to moderately exuding wounds. Combining the trusted ALLEVYN technology with a soft silicone adhesive border, this dressing provides optimal comfort and support for patients with sensitive or fragile skin. Its thinner, more flexible construction makes it ideal for areas of the body that require a more conformable and discreet dressing while maintaining superior moisture control for faster healing.

Key Features:

• Soft Silicone Adhesive: The dressing features a gentle silicone adhesive that adheres lightly to the skin, minimizing pain and trauma during removal. This makes it suitable for patients with sensitive, fragile, or aging skin, as it reduces the risk of skin tears or irritation while still offering secure attachment.

• Triple-Layer Construction:

  1. Breathable Top Layer: The outer film layer is moisture-proof yet breathable, protecting the wound from external contaminants like bacteria and fluids while allowing vapor to escape, preventing maceration.
  2. Lightweight Foam Core: The central layer is a highly absorbent, low-profile foam that absorbs and locks in exudate, keeping the wound environment moist for optimal healing while preventing excess moisture build-up.
  3. Soft Silicone Wound Contact Layer: The inner layer is designed for direct contact with the wound, ensuring gentle adherence to the skin, which minimizes discomfort during dressing changes.

• Ultra-Thin and Flexible Design: ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite is significantly thinner and more flexible than the standard ALLEVYN dressings, making it perfect for patients who need freedom of movement. It conforms easily to difficult areas like elbows, knees, or ankles, staying in place without restricting motion.

• Moisture Control: The dressing effectively manages low to moderate exudate, keeping the wound bed moist while protecting the surrounding skin from maceration. This controlled moisture balance is key to promoting faster healing and preventing wound-related complications.

• Long-Wear Comfort: With a wear time of up to 7 days, depending on the level of exudate, the dressing helps reduce the frequency of dressing changes, allowing for less disruption to the wound and increased patient comfort.

Benefits:

• Gentle and Painless to Remove: The silicone adhesive border ensures that the dressing stays securely in place without adhering too tightly to the wound or surrounding skin. This means less trauma and pain during dressing changes, making it ideal for individuals with sensitive skin or chronic wounds.

• Discreet and Comfortable: The ultra-thin design makes it comfortable to wear under clothing and allows for more freedom of movement, which is ideal for patients who need a discreet, long-lasting dressing for daily activities.

• Superior Absorbency in a Light Form: Despite its thinner construction, the dressing still offers excellent absorbency, preventing the wound from becoming too dry or overly moist, which can delay healing.

• Reduced Risk of Infection: The waterproof top film acts as a barrier to external contaminants, protecting the wound from bacteria, while allowing moisture vapor to escape, preventing the build-up of excess fluid that could promote bacterial growth.

Indications for Use:

ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite is suitable for a variety of low to moderately exuding wounds, including:

• Skin tears
• Pressure ulcers (stage I and II)
• Superficial burns
• Surgical wounds
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Minor abrasions, cuts, and lacerations

Application:

1. Preparation: Clean the wound with a suitable wound cleanser, and ensure the surrounding skin is dry.
2. Application: Remove the backing from the silicone adhesive and apply the dressing gently over the wound, ensuring the dressing covers the entire wound area and adheres smoothly to the skin.
3. Wear Time: The dressing can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on the level of exudate. Inspect the dressing regularly to ensure it continues to manage moisture effectively.
4. Changing the Dressing: When it is time to change, the dressing can be lifted off easily and painlessly, with no damage to the wound or surrounding skin.

The ALLEVYN Gentle Border Lite Foam Dressing is an ideal choice for patients requiring a lightweight, gentle, and effective wound dressing. Designed for low to moderately exuding wounds, it combines the advantages of ALLEVYN's moisture management technology with the softness of silicone to provide a dressing that is comfortable, conformable, and pain-free to remove. Perfect for sensitive skin and areas requiring flexibility, it is the optimal solution for wound care in both clinical and home settings.
