Designed for treatment
Requiring active monitoring and management, pressure injuries are very time consuming, especially for nurses with large numbers of patients to care for and long to-do lists.
The dressing durability
90.6% of deep tissue injuries were prevented from deterioration in a US study using Mepilex Border Sacrum and Mepilex Border Heel dressings
Optimised to prevent
The prevention of pressure injuries is vital to improving patient care and reducing the pressure on hospitals.
The dressings are anatomically shaped, helping them to fit and stay in place around areas prone to pressure injuries, resulting in up to 5 times less pressure injuries when used in addition to standard prevention protocols, according to clinical studies
Mepilex Border Sacrum and Mepilex Border Heel are the only dressings engineered with Mölnlycke’s Deep Defense® technology – strength in the patient sliding direction and flexibility in the other. This is proven to protect against extrinsic factors such as pressure, shear and friction
Pressure injuries are a pain.
Pressure injuries are painful and embarrassing for patients, affecting their independence and quality of life
Today we face approximately 58 million pressure injuries
Individuals with pressure injuries have a 4.5x greater risk of death than persons with the same risk factors but without pressure injuries
