Mepilex Border

Mepilex^® Border is a versatile all-in-one bordered foam dressing available in a large range of shapes and sizes. You can use it for treating chronic and acute wounds. Plus it’s clinically proven to help prevent pressure ulcers.

The proven five-layer construction includes Safetac^® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. Safetac is designed to mould softly to skin without sticking to the moist wound – so you can remove it easily without damaging the skin. That means less pain for your patients.

The absorption layer instantly draws in moisture and exudate, protecting the periwound skin from maceration. Then the spreading layer distributes the exudate evenly across the full surface to improve the dressing’s ability to work for longer. The retention layer soaks up the exudate and stores it, so the layers closer to the wound can continue absorbing more fluid. The backing film stops most bacteria and viruses from entering the wound - and it achieves a higher moisture vapour loss than other comparable dressings, which contributes to its impressive overall fluid handling capabilities.

• Versatile all-in-one dressing for a wide range of chronic and acute wounds
