Allevyn Ag Gentle Border Adhesive Silver Dressing

Allevyn Ag Gentle Border Silver Dressing Application

• Where required, cleanse the wound in accordance with normal procedures.
• Select appropriate dressing size.
• Prepare the skin surrounding the wound by removing excess moisture. Any excess hair should be clipped to ensure close approximation to the wound.
• Start to remove the protector material from ALLEVYN Ag Gentle Border and anchor the dressing.
• Smooth the allevyn dressing over the wound, removing the remaining protector material and ensure that the dressing is adhered all around the wound.
• ALLEVYN Ag Gentle Border can be cut, especially to dress heels, elbows and other awkward areas. Always use aseptic technique when cutting the dressing.
