Key Benefits

• Gentle Adhesion with Safetac Technology: Minimizes pain and skin trauma during removal, preventing stripping of epidermal cells.
• Exceptional Conformability and Flexibility: Adapts smoothly to body contours and joint movements, ensuring comfort and reducing the risk of edge lift.
• Effective Exudate Management: Absorbs and retains exudate efficiently, creating an optimal moist wound healing environment.
• Waterproof and Bacteria-Proof Outer Film: Protects the wound from external contaminants while allowing for showering.
• Suitable for Sensitive Skin: The gentle nature of Safetac makes it a preferred choice for fragile or compromised skin.
• Versatile Application: Ideal for a variety of low to moderately exuding wounds such as surgical incisions, traumatic wounds, leg and foot ulcers, and pressure injuries.

How to Use

1. Clean the Wound: Gently cleanse the wound area with saline solution or a prescribed wound cleanser, ensuring all debris is removed.
2. Dry Surrounding Skin: Carefully dry the healthy skin around the wound to ensure proper adhesion of the dressing.
3. Apply the Dressing: Remove the release films and apply the adhesive side of Mepilex Border Flex Lite to the wound, ensuring the central pad covers the wound bed completely.
4. Secure the Dressing: Smooth down the edges of the dressing to ensure secure contact with the surrounding skin. Do not stretch the dressing during application.
5. Dressing Change Frequency: The dressing can be left in place for several days, depending on the wound condition and exudate level. Change the dressing when the exudate reaches the edges of the absorbent pad.
