FAQ: What wounds are Allevyn Gentle Border suitable for?

Allevyn Gentle Border is used for moderate to high exudate wounds including venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, post-surgical wounds and traumatic wounds requiring foam absorption. The gentle silicone border makes it particularly appropriate for fragile, elderly or sensitive peri-wound skin where conventional adhesive removal causes trauma.

FAQ: How often should Allevyn Gentle Border dressings be changed?

Change when the foam becomes saturated (fluid visible at dressing edges), when the dressing is dislodged, or per clinical wound assessment protocols — typically every 3-7 days depending on exudate level. Unnecessary frequent changes disturb wound healing; Allevyn's high absorption capacity is designed to allow less frequent changes than lower-absorbency dressings.
