Product Overview

Mepilex Border Flex 15x15cm is an advanced, all-in-one foam dressing meticulously engineered by Molnlycke to provide optimal care for a wide range of exuding wounds. As a leading choice on platforms like , , and , this sterile dressing integrates groundbreaking Safetac technology, ensuring a gentle adhesion that minimizes pain and trauma during removal. Its unique Flex technology allows the dressing to conform effortlessly to challenging body contours, providing unparalleled comfort and security.

Designed for effective exudate management, Mepilex Border Flex absorbs and retains fluid, maintaining a moist wound healing environment crucial for faster recovery. The breathable, shower-proof outer film protects the wound from external contamination, promoting prolonged wear time and reducing the frequency of dressing changes. This combination of comfort, flexibility, and robust performance makes it an ideal solution for patients seeking advanced wound care.

Key Benefits

• Gentle Adhesion & Pain-Free Removal: Features Safetac technology, a soft silicone layer that adheres gently to the skin but not to the moist wound bed, ensuring minimal pain and trauma upon removal.
• Exceptional Flexibility: The innovative Flex technology allows the dressing to conform and adapt to difficult-to-dress areas, reducing the risk of lifting and ensuring continuous contact.
• Superior Exudate Management: Highly absorbent foam layer effectively manages moderate to high levels of exudate, preventing maceration and maintaining optimal moisture balance.
• Promotes Moist Healing: Creates and maintains a moist wound environment, which is essential for facilitating the natural healing process.
• Waterproof & Bacteria-Proof: The outer film protects the wound from water and external bacteria, allowing patients to shower and reducing infection risk.
• Extended Wear Time: Designed for prolonged wear, reducing the need for frequent changes and thereby minimizing disruption to the wound.
• Comfortable & Skin-Friendly: Soft and comfortable for the patient, and gentle on the surrounding skin.

How to Use

1. Clean the Wound: Gently clean the wound area with saline solution or as directed by a healthcare professional. Ensure the surrounding skin is dry.
2. Select Dressing Size: Choose a Mepilex Border Flex dressing size that extends at least 1-2 cm beyond the wound edges onto the surrounding skin.
3. Remove Release Films: Peel away the protective release films from the adhesive (Safetac) side of the dressing.
4. Apply the Dressing: Place the adhesive side of the dressing onto the wound, ensuring the entire wound bed is covered. Gently smooth the edges of the dressing onto the surrounding skin to ensure secure adhesion.
5. Monitor & Change: Change the dressing as indicated by the level of exudate or as recommended by your healthcare provider, typically every few days.
