Mepilex Border Foam Dressing

Mepilex Border

Mepilex Border is an all-in-one foam dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac layer seals the wound edges, preventing the exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, thus minimizing the risk for maceration. The Safetac layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain.

Mepilex Border Features:

• Minimizes pain and trauma at dressing changes
• Self-adherent - no secondary fixation needed
• Moisture proof and bacteria proof film backing
• May be used under compression bandages
• Promotes patient comfort during wear
• Designed for ease of use
• May remain in place for several days depending on the condition of the wound
• May be lifted and adjusted without losing its adherent properties
• Low potential for skin irritation and allergy

Areas of use:

Mepilex Border is designed for a wide range of exuding wounds such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, surgical incisions, and traumatic wounds, such as skin tears, blisters, abrasions and secondary healing wounds.

Mepilex Border Sacrum:

Mepilex Border is also available shaped to specifically fit the sacral area.

Safetac Technology:

Safetac is a patented soft silicone adhesive technology. Dressings with Safetac technology are atraumatic upon removal. These dressings minimize trauma to the wound and the surrounding skin, which minimizes pain to the patient. The risk of maceration is minimized by sealing the wound margins.
