As with all products containing silver sulfadiazine, the following precautions should be noted, especially when covering a large surface area with the dressing.
1. Use caution in patients with significant hepatic or renal impairment,
2. Use caution in individuals known to have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency,
3. Effects of systemically administered drugs may be altered. This can especially apply to oral hypoglycemic 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.
Chronic Wounds
Moderate/Highly Exuding Wounds
Partial- and Full-Thickness Wounds
Where required, cleanse the wound in accordance with normal procedures. Select the appropriate dressing size. Prepare the skin surrounding the wound by removing excess moisture. Any excess hair should be clipped to ensure close approximation to the wound. Start to remove the protector material from ALLEVYN* Ag Gentle Border and anchor the dressing. Smooth the dressing over the wound, removing the remaining protector material and ensure that the dressing is adhered all around the wound.
ALLEVYN* Ag Gentle Border can be cut, especially to dress heels, elbows, and other awkward areas. Always use aseptic technique when cutting the dressing.
