Description
All-in-one dressing that is designed to stay on and uniquely conform
Our next generation of flexible dressings are designed to stay on and uniquely conform; giving time back to nurses, cost savings back to managers and quality of life back to patients.
Designed to conform and stay on
Our proprietary Flex Technology creates great conformability, and a dressing that is more flexible than compared bordered foam dressings. A dressing that moves with the patient and stays on even in the shower. Gives more time back to nurses to focus on care, not unscheduled dressing changes.
Smart exudate management
The five-layer dressing absorbs, channels and traps exudate and allows you to track exudate progress. Keeping exudate away from the wound bed, and preventing re-entry, even under compression. It has better exudate handling capacity than compared bordered foam dressings and can handle both normal and viscous exudate.
Reduced pain and trauma
Our proven Safetac® technology means less pain and trauma during dressing changes, and reduced risk of maceration than traditional (adhesive) dressings.
Areas of use
You can use Mepilex® Border Flex to treat a wide range of exuding chronic and acute wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, skin tears and traumatic wounds. It may also be used as part of a prophylactic therapy to help prevent skin damage, e.g. pressure ulcers.
Being available in square, oval and rectangular shapes, it can be used on a wide range of wounds and considered as your ‘go to’ all-in-one dressing.
Easy application
Our proprietary three-part release liner makes it easy to apply Mepilex Border Flex. So you can place your dressings accurately and securely – avoiding wrinkles, rolled edges and re-applications. Which could save time and reduce waste, too.
