Absorbent dressings – Mepilex® Border

All in one foam dressing for pressure ulcers and other acute and chronic wounds

Mepilex® Border is an all-in-one foam dressing for medium to high exuding chronic and actute wounds, such as pressure ulcers and post-operative wounds. Mepilex Border minimises pain and wound or skin damage at dressing change1. Mepilex Border retains exudate well and prevents exudate from leaking to the surrounding skin – it helps reducing the risk of maceration2.

Post-operative blisters can be harmful – they inflict pain and increase the risk of infections in post-op wounds. Mepilex Border offers a bacteria and viral barrier to the wound and is an anti-blistering3 dressing available in post-op sizes that reduces pain with the Safetac technology.

Mepilex Border is an all-in-one foam dressing, ideal for a wide range of exuding wounds; surgical wounds with incisions, traumatic wounds like skin tears and secondary healing wounds. The soft, conformable dressing maintains a moist wound environment, which gives the wound a sound environment to heal in. Sealed wound edges minimises risk of maceration and post-operative complications like blistering2 minimising the risk for blistering and thereby infections also means cost efficiencies. With no post-op infections – less after-care is needed. Mepilex Border is available in post-op sizes.
