Product Overview
MEPILEX Border Dressing - Sacrum
Mepilex Self Adherent Border Dressing
Sacrum
The Mepilex Border Dressing is an all-in-one foam dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment.
This 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 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.
Benefits of Mepilex Border Dressing:
- 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
- Safetax Technology - Less Painful Wound Management
- 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

husband of patient.
I recommend that product be tried.
Price is high for us since we must change every 24hrs, since wound produces high level of exudate which saturates the foam dressing and subsequently breaks down the surrounding Safetac layer seal.

Does this dressing has adhesive properties only on the border edges and not on padding that covers the wound?

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.

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.

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 dressing will be compromised. so i don't recommend it for severe or highly draining type wounds with out additional absorbent dressing.
