Warnings	Care should be taken when using the dressing under medical devices near the nose and mouth, where moisture can build up and aect adherence, leading to dressing movement. • The use of ALLEVYN GENTLE BORDER Dressings, as part of a program of prophylaxis against the development of a pressure ulcer, does not preclude the need to continue to develop and follow a comprehensive pressure ulcer prevention protocol (e.g. regular repositioning, appropriate support surfaces, skin care and frequent skin assessments). • Due to the gentle adhesive used, do not use this dressing to secure other medical devices to the patient. • If reddening or sensitisation occurs discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. • Cutting the dressing will compromise the bacterial barrier and showerproof properties of the dressing. • Do not immerse the dressing in water. • Do not use with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite solutions (e.g. EUSOL) or hydrogen peroxide as these can reduce the absorbency of the dressing. • Single use only, and should not be re-used as cross contamination or infection may occur and the dressing may be ineective. • Once opened, do not retain unused dressings for application at a later date. • If used on infected wounds, the infection should be managed as per local clinical protocol ALLEVYN GENTLE BORDER Dressings are for healthcare professional use or for use by patients under the direction of a healthcare professional. When required, healthcare professionals should provide appropriate advice to patients on how to apply, monitor the dressing, remove, and dispose of the dressing and when to contact a healthcare professional as detailed in this leaflet.
