Barcelona, Spain. 27 March 2025. New study reports that switching patients with chronic wounds to the multi-layered, bordered silicone-coated foam dressing, Mepilex® Border Flex, alongside a clinician educational support programme, resulted in a significant reduction in the number of dressing changes being undertaken and a reduction in dressing-related costs.1  The study, sponsored by Mölnlycke Health Care, and conducted across primary care facilities in Seville, Spain was today presented as an e-poster at the 35th Conference of the European Wound Management Association (EWMA) 2025 in Barcelona, Spain by the principal investigator Dr Andres Roldan Valenzuela, Centro de Salud Mairena del Aljarafe – Cuidad Expo, Seville. The primary outcome of the study was a statistically significant reduction in the number of dressing changes undertaken, prior to and after the switch from a bordered foam dressing (baseline) to  Mepilex® Border Flex; results demonstrated the median number of dressing changes reduced during the study period, from three in a seven-day period to just one.1 Other reported outcomes included:1 32% wounds healed by the final visit 50% reduction in wound area in four weeks in 75% of patients Two thirds (68.7%) reduction in wound area from baseline to the final visit Reduced pain at dressing changes (pain severity scores of 3.1 - 3.3 at baseline associated with previously used dressings, compared to scores of 0.5 - 1.1 recorded with Mepilex® Border Flex at the final visit) 44% reduction in weekly dressing cost per patient (5.38€ less after the dressing switch) No dressing related adverse events Almost all (97%) of the clinicians rated the overall performance of Mepilex® Border Flex to be better than the previously used dressings, while 100% of patients rated Mepilex® Border Flex as ‘good’ to ‘very good’ in terms of overall satisfaction, compared to 65% for the previously used dressings. Dr Andres Roldan Valenzuela, principal investigator commented “The results of this study clearly demonstrate how simple changes to a wound care treatment regime can bring about positive outcomes for both patients and healthcare providers. At a time when healthcare systems and staff are under increasing pressure on both cost and time it is encouraging that there are solutions to help drive efficiencies and improve outcomes for all involved.” For more information, please contact:  [Contact card] Sofia Lindqvist About the study design The study involved 37 adult patients, aged between 30 and 90+ years presenting with wounds that had not reduced in size by >40-50% in the previous month and had been managed with foam dressing (other than Mepilex® Border Flex), for a minimum of four weeks (baseline). Category 2 pressure ulcers (24.3%) and venous leg ulcers (18.9%) were the most common wound types. Patients in the study had Mepilex® Border Flex applied to their wounds for ≥4 weeks, in conjunction with standard of care.  

The Tamer Mölnlycke Care joint venture was initiated in 2021 with the agreement to develop a customised surgical procedure tray factory in Saudi Arabia, with first production expected in Q4 2024. The increased investment allows for an expansion in the range of Mölnlycke products manufactured and distributed in the country and to the neighbouring region. Adding drapes and gowns, emollient range and selected wound care products to the offering allows more healthcare professionals and patients in the region to benefit from Mölnlycke products and solutions. Zlatko Rihter, CEO, Mölnlycke Health Care comments “To ensure we meet customer demand, geographical expansion is a strategic priority for Mölnlycke Health Care. Increased investment in our existing long-term partnership with Tamer Group will importantly enable healthcare professionals and patients in Saudi Arabia access to our quality products and solutions helping to improve outcomes, and is a step closer to realising the potential of this rapidly growing healthcare market.” Speaking on behalf of Tamer Group, Chairman Ayman Tamer adds “This investment is key to enabling future growth in the region as outlined in the Saudi Vision 2030 - supporting the regional healthcare ecosystem, including exporting goods to the Middle East and Africa region, whilst developing local skills and expertise.” Mahmoud Wagih, CEO, Tamer Mölnlycke Care comments “I am delighted to lead this business where Mölnlycke and Tamer will build a strong, long-term successful joint venture, bringing superior health care solutions to our region.” The Tamer Mölnlycke Care joint venture is a long-term agreement between two organisations who have been working in partnership over the past decade; and are committed to meeting customer demand in the evolving healthcare landscape of Saudi Arabia and the wider region.

Gothenburg, Sweden. 19 November 2024. The Cebu Comprehensive Cleft Care Center of Excellence is now officially inaugurated. This milestone is a result of the longstanding partnership between Mölnlycke and Operation Smile – a global non-profit charity organisation. The centre will bring comprehensive care to people born with a cleft lip or palette (CLP) in the region and is expected to serve 10,000 patients in the first three years of its operations. The incidence of babies born with cleft lip and cleft palate is higher in South-East Asia than in other regions globally. The new clinic will offer life-changing surgeries and comprehensive cleft care to patients in the region where access to healthcare services is difficult. “The support from Mölnlycke in establishing the centre is grounded in our commitment to ensure equitable access to healthcare for all and the vision we have for achieving sustainable healthcare. A part of this vision is making the centre self-sufficient, and that includes raising the level of knowledge of the local healthcare professionals in the areas where Mölnlycke can offer expertise”, comments Eric de Kesel, COO & EVP Sustainability, Mölnlycke. “Cleft patients continue to be stigmatised and we are delighted to be able to contribute to changing their lives and fully including them in society,” he adds. “This clinic is a milestone for us, but also for cleft care globally, as it is also a training hub. In a rather lengthy construction project, our partner Mölnlycke has supported us financially while, in parallel with the construction, we have jointly created and rolled out a training programme with innovative methods and solutions,” says Emiliano Romano, Executive Director, Operation Smile Philippines. “Together with some of our volunteers, clinical specialists from Mölnlycke are training the local healthcare professionals in areas such as infection prevention.” The Cebu Comprehensive Cleft Care Center of Excellence is located at the Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC) hospital, in the Philippines. It is a 2,000 m2 state-of-the-art facility providing an optimal environment for delivering comprehensive CLP services, including speech therapy, dental and psychosocial care - in addition to the areas supporting the surgical flow, in alignment with the vision of surgical care that Mölnlycke and Operation Smile share. It is also fully manned by the local healthcare workers. -Ends- For more information, please contact: [Contact card] Sofia Lindqvist   About Operation Smile Operation Smile is a leading global nonprofit bridging the gap in access to essential surgeries and health care, starting with cleft surgery and comprehensive care.
