About Smith and Nephew 66800270 Allevyn Gentle Border Dressing
Overall Feedback:
93% positive
94% praised for its strong adhesive, while 6% found it didn't stick well
I regret not using this type of bandaging pads earlier. It worked extremely well for my husband's ulcer and resulted in phenomenal healing in just 3 days.
The adhesive strength of the bandage is not good and it moves around and comes off.
The packaging of the product was practically falling apart with a horrible tape job.
90% found it easy to apply
Both versions of the bandage hold in place well and work fine for my needs.
This bandage is a game changer for me. I love how I can clean my wound(s) and end the daily wound care process by easily and quickly sticking this on. Its hassle free, doesnt take much time or effort, doesnt cause any breakouts and stays in place even if Im moving, sleeping, or wearing clothes.
80% liked that it is hypoallergenic, but 20% experienced an allergic reaction
If the product is damaged or exposed to moisture, it could compromise sterility and cause complications for me.
84% praised for its size and shape, while 16% found it small
I compared the size and fit of Allevyn Life and Allevyn Gentle versions of the bandaging pads. The Allevyn Life version has a smaller pad in diameter in the center, but it is also thicker for more cushioning on the wound area. This results in more sticky or tape type area that helps it hold in place and seal better.
Some of the sterile dressing envelopes were damaged.
