Features
MEPILEX Border Dressing
- Comes in a variety of size options
- Minimizes the risk for maceration
- Minimizes pain and trauma at dressing changes
- Self-adherent soft silicone dressing
Product Overview
MEPILEX Border Dressing
Mepilex Border Self-Adherent Absorbent Foam Dressing
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 Dressing Benefits
- 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.
