How to Use Allevyn Gentle Border Heel Foam Dressing?

Cleanse the wound in accordance with normal procedures.
Select the appropriate dressing size.
Prepare and clean the skin surrounding the wound area by removing excess moisture. Any excess hair should be clipped to ensure close approximation to the wound.
Start to remove the protector material from the dressing and anchor the adhesive side of the dressing to the skin.
Smooth the dressing over the wound removing the remaining protector material and ensure that the dressing adheres all around the wound.
Allevyn Gentle Border Heel can be cut and an aseptic technique should be used for cutting the dressing. Ensure any exposed foam areas are covered with an appropriate film dressing taking care not to cover the entire dressing.

Frequency of change in Allevyn Foam Dressing

This Allevyn dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days, except the sacral area where dressings can be left in place for up to 5 days, depending on the condition of the wound and the surrounding skin or until exudate is visible and approaches to within 0.5cm of the edge of the dressing pad, whichever is sooner.
