The Mepilex® Border Dressing is an all-in-one foam dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The dressing is specifically shaped to fit the sacral area. The Safetac layer seals the wound edges, preventing the exudate to leak onto the surrounding skin, thus minimising 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.

this dressing is effective for mild to moderate decubiti. my only dislike with it is that it is effectively sealing the wound area and if the wound is draining, exudation builds under the dressing like a blister. if wound is draining excessively the dress

Question By: fayfay on Jul 12 2010 9:16 AM
My answers would be exactly as those already answering. Yes, border adhesive.
Answer By: Hangpilot on Nov 13 2021 4:11 PM
The adhesive is on the border and center.
Answer By: Grandma Caretaker on Jul 14 2014 2:41 PM
Yes, you are correct. The border adhesive keeps it in place and the padding protects the wound. It was ordered by the wound center for my Dad's buttocks decubitus and it is the best product we have used for protection and healing; even better than duoderm
Answer By: C.Kennedy on May 13 2004 1:47 PM
Perfect for a bed sore. It will protect and remain in place for a few days. For heavy drainage,the wound should be packed;but this is an excellent product for simple bed sores.
