Mepilex Border Ag 15x15 cm Box of 5

Product Overview

Mepilex Border Ag 15x15 cm is an advanced, all-in-one antimicrobial foam dressing engineered by Molnlycke for effective wound management.

It integrates patented Safetac technology, ensuring gentle adhesion to the surrounding skin while preventing adherence to the moist wound bed, which minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes.

The dressing incorporates silver sulfate, providing a sustained antimicrobial action that helps reduce the risk of infection in wounds.

Designed to manage moderate to highly exuding wounds, Mepilex Border Ag effectively absorbs and retains exudate, maintaining an optimal moist wound healing environment.

Its conformable design adapts well to body contours, ensuring comfort and promoting faster healing.

The dressing is suitable for various wound types including leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, partial thickness burns, and traumatic wounds, offering extended wear time.

Key Benefits of Mepilex Border Ag

• Gentle Adhesion: Features Safetac technology for comfortable, pain-free removal and repositioning, reducing patient trauma.
• Antimicrobial Action: Contains silver sulfate that delivers a rapid and sustained antimicrobial effect for up to 7 days, reducing bioburden and infection risk.
• Effective Exudate Management: Highly absorbent foam layer efficiently manages moderate to heavy wound exudate, preventing maceration.
• Optimal Healing Environment: Maintains a moist wound environment crucial for faster healing and granulation tissue formation.
• Conformable and Comfortable: Soft and flexible material conforms to body contours, ensuring patient comfort and secure fit.
• Extended Wear Time: Designed for longer wear, reducing the frequency of dressing changes and associated costs.

How to Use Mepilex Border Ag

1. Clean the Wound: Gently clean the wound and surrounding skin with saline solution or a suitable wound cleanser.
2. Dry Surrounding Skin: Ensure the periwound skin is dry to facilitate optimal adhesion of the dressing border.
3. Select Size: Choose a dressing size that allows the foam pad to overlap the wound edges by at least 1-2 cm.
4. Remove Backing Film: Peel away the protective backing film from the adhesive side of the dressing.
5. Apply Dressing: Carefully apply the adhesive side to the wound, ensuring the foam pad covers the entire wound bed. Do not stretch the dressing.
6. Secure: Gently smooth down the borders to ensure good adhesion to the surrounding skin.
7. Change Frequency: Change the dressing based on the wound condition and exudate level, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Mepilex Border Ag can be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the wound.
