FAQs – ALLEVYN™ GENTLE BORDER LITE 5cm x 5cm

What does “GENTLE BORDER” mean?
“Gentle Border” typically refers to a dressing that includes a soft silicone adhesive border, designed to help the dressing stay in place while reducing pain and skin trauma during removal.

What does “LITE” indicate?
“LITE” indicates a thinner foam dressing option, generally used for wounds with low to moderate exudate where a less bulky dressing is preferred.

Is the 5cm x 5cm size suitable for small wounds?
Yes. The 5cm x 5cm size is commonly selected for smaller wound sites, including skin tears and minor post-operative wounds, especially where a compact, discreet dressing is required.

How often should it be changed?
Wear time depends on wound condition and exudate level. Dressings should be changed when clinically indicated, such as when exudate approaches the edge of the dressing or per local protocol.
