Mepilex Border Flex 10x20cm

Practical Exudate Management

The dressing with 5 layers absorbs and channels exudate while containing it. This allows for control of exudate progression. The layers draw exudate away from the wound bed and prevent backflow into the wound, even under a compression bandage. As a result, this wound dressing has up to 2.2 times higher exudate absorption compared to other tested foam dressings with a border and can absorb both normal and viscous exudate.

Less Pain and Wound and Skin Damage

The proven Safetac technology ensures less pain and wound and skin damage during dressing changes, as well as a lower risk of maceration compared to conventional (self-adhesive) dressings.

• The patented Flex technology allows Mepilex Border Flex to move in any direction, reducing strain on the skin and increasing comfort. It also prevents slipping.
• Up to 2.2 times better exudate absorption and retention compared to other tested foam dressings with a border.
• The Exudate Progress Monitor allows for objective assessment and documentation of exudate distribution without disturbing wound healing.
• Suitable for a variety of exuding wounds.

Areas of Application

Mepilex Border Flex has been developed for a wide range of exuding wounds, such as pressure ulcers, leg and foot ulcers, as well as traumatic wounds (e.g., skin abrasions) and surgical wounds. Mepilex Border Flex can also be used in conjunction with gels for dry and necrotic wounds. Additionally, Mepilex Border Flex can be used as part of a prophylactic treatment to prevent skin injuries such as pressure ulcers and reduces postoperative blistering.
