ALLEVYN Gentle Border Multisite Foam Dressing
ALLEVYN Gentle Border Multisite Foam Dressing is a silicone gel adhesive hydrocellular foam dressing designed for wounds located in anatomically challenging areas. It provides secure fixation, effective exudate management, and protection for fragile or compromised skin.
The multisite design allows application on curved or irregular surfaces such as heels, elbows, and other difficult-to-dress regions while maintaining a moist wound environment.
Key Features
- Silicone gel adhesive border for gentle skin contact and atraumatic removal
- Hydrocellular foam core absorbs moderate to heavy exudate
- Multisite anatomical shape designed for difficult wound locations
- Breathable outer film provides bacterial barrier protection
- Helps maintain optimal moisture balance in wound bed
- Flexible structure conforms to body contours
- Supports pressure redistribution when used with offloading protocols
- Up to extended wear time depending on wound condition
Quick Summary
- Used for moderate to heavily exuding wounds
- Suitable for pressure injuries, ulcers, surgical wounds, and burns
- Designed for awkward anatomical sites (multisite geometry)
- Silicone border reduces trauma during dressing changes
What Is This Product?
ALLEVYN Gentle Border Multisite is a hydrocellular foam dressing composed of a polyurethane foam core, a breathable outer film, and a perforated silicone adhesive wound contact layer. The structure is designed to absorb exudate while maintaining a controlled moist wound environment.
Its unique multisite shape allows it to conform to irregular anatomical regions where standard square or rectangular dressings are less effective.
Indications / Wound Types
- Pressure injuries (Stage I–IV as clinically appropriate)
- Heel pressure ulcers
- Elbow wounds and bony prominences
- Venous leg ulcers
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Surgical wounds
- Traumatic wounds
- Skin tears
- Moderate to heavy exuding wounds
How It Works
The hydrocellular foam absorbs wound exudate into its internal structure while distributing fluid throughout the dressing to reduce localized saturation. This helps minimize maceration of surrounding skin.
The silicone gel adhesive layer enables gentle fixation to intact skin while allowing repositioning and atraumatic removal, reducing skin stripping risk in fragile patients.
Application Instructions
- Cleanse wound according to clinical protocol
- Dry surrounding skin thoroughly
- Select appropriate multisite orientation for wound location
- Apply dressing without stretching silicone border
- Ensure full contact across wound area
Dressing Change Guidance
Change frequency is determined by wound exudate level and clinical assessment. Dressing should be replaced when saturation approaches capacity or leakage occurs at edges.
May be used as part of pressure injury prevention protocols when clinically appropriate.
Why Choose This Product
ALLEVYN Gentle Border Multisite provides a specialized anatomical solution for difficult-to-dress wound locations. It combines hydrocellular foam absorption with silicone border comfort and secure fixation.
Its design reduces the need for cutting or modifying standard dressings in high-friction or irregular anatomical regions.
