Mepilex Border Heel

Mepilex Border is a highly conformable self-adherent dressing that absorbs exudate, maintains a moist wound environment and minimizes the risk of maceration. Mepilex Border consists of: 1. a wound contact layer consisting of soft silicone adhesive (Safetac®) and a polyurethane film carrier 2. a flexible, absorbent pad in three layers: a polyurethane foam layer, a viscose/polyester non-woven spreading layer and a super-absorbent polyacrylate fiber layer 3. a vapor permeable, waterproof outer polyurethane film. Safetac is a unique adhesive technology that minimizes pain to patients and trauma to intact skin or wounds. Mepilex Border is designed for a wide range of exuding wounds such as ulcers, leg and foot ulcers and traumatic wounds, e.g., skin tears and surgical wounds. Mepilex Border can also be used on dry/necrotic wounds in combination with gels. Mepilex Border can be used as part of a prophylactic therapy to help prevent skin damage, e.g., pressure injuries, postoperative blistering.
