Mepilex Border Ag

Mepilex Border Ag dressing is indicated for the management of exuding wounds such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, traumatic and surgical wounds, superficial and partial thickness burns. Mepilex Border Ag can also be used under compression bandaging. Silver sulfate present in the dressing helps reduce microbial colonization of it. Mepilex Border Ag is a soft silicone foam dressing that absorbs exudate, maintains a moist wound healing environment and has antimicrobial properties. Mepilex Border Ag has been shown to inactivate wound-related pathogens up to 7 days in vitro. Mepilex Border Ag consists of a Safetac® soft silicone wound contact layer, an absorbent polyurethane foam pad containing silver sulfate and colored by activated carbon, a layer with super-absorbent polyacrylate fibers, and a non-woven, breathable, waterproof film. Safetac® is a proprietary adhesive technology developed by Mölnlycke that minimizes pain to patients and trauma to intact skin or wounds.
