- Allevyn Ag Gentle Border may not be compatible with topical antimicrobials.
- In the event of clinical infection, topical silver does not replace the need for systemic therapy or other adequate infection treatment.
- In common with all adhesive products irritation and/or maceration of the skin surrounding the wound mayoccur. If reddening or sensitisation occur, discontinue use, and consult a healthcare professional.
- It should be noted that inappropriate use or too frequent dressing changes, particularly on patients with fragile skin may result in skin stripping.
- Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels during electronic measurements such as EEG (Electroencephalogram) and ECG (Electrocardiogram).
- When Allevyn Ag Gentle Border is used on a patient during MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) some warming may be experienced.
- Allevyn Ag Gentle Border is not compatible with oil based products such as petrolatum.
- Allevyn Ag Gentle Border is not suitable for use alone on cavity wounds but may be used over cavity wounds as a secondary dressing.
- As with all products containing SSD the following precautions should be noted, especially when covering a large surface area with the dressing:
- Use caution in patients with significant hepatic or renal impairment,
- Use caution in individuals known to have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency,
- Effects of systemically administered drugs may be altered. This can especially apply to oral hypoglycaemic agents and to phenytoin. In the case of these drugs, it is recommended that blood levels should be monitored as their effect can be potentiated. - Allevyn Ag Gentle Border is a single use only product.
