Overview
Mepilex Border is a self-adherent, absorbent dressing to be used as part of a prophylactic therapy to prevent pressure ulcers and minimise the risk of maceration. For wound treatment it maintains a moist wound environment. The waterproof outer layer protects from dirt and bacteria. The dressing has a Safetac® wound contact layer that is a unique adhesive technology. It minimises pain to patients and trauma to wounds and skin at dressing removal. Mepilex Border consists of: • a wound contact layer consisting of soft silicone adhesive (Safetac) and a film carrier • a flexible absorbent pad in three layers: a foam, a non-woven spreading layer and a layer with super absorbent fibres. • an outer film which is breathable but waterproof, providing a barrier to external contaminants Dressing material content: Silicone, polyurethane, polyacrylate, cotton, viscose, polyester and polyolefin.
