Mepilex Border Flex Oval 15x19cm 5/Box 583400

Product Description

Mepilex Border Flex Oval 15x19cm is an advanced, all-in-one foam dressing meticulously designed for effective wound management. Featuring Mölnlycke's proprietary Safetac and Flex Technologies, this dressing offers unparalleled flexibility and conformability, making it ideal for use on challenging anatomical areas such as joints and contours. It is engineered to handle moderate to high levels of exudate efficiently, ensuring an optimal moist wound healing environment while minimizing the risk of maceration.

The unique Safetac layer ensures that the dressing adheres gently to the surrounding skin but not to the moist wound bed, which significantly reduces pain and trauma upon removal. This helps to protect fragile periwound skin, promoting undisturbed healing. Mepilex Border Flex Oval is also shower-proof, allowing patients to maintain personal hygiene without compromising wound integrity. Each box contains 5 sterile dressings, providing a convenient and reliable solution for ongoing wound care.

Benefits of Mepilex Border Flex Oval

• Exceptional Flexibility and Conformability: Easily adapts to difficult body contours and moving joints, providing secure fit and patient comfort.
• Gentle Adhesion with Safetac Technology: Minimizes pain and skin trauma during dressing changes, protecting new tissue growth.
• Effective Exudate Management: Superabsorbent foam layer effectively manages moderate to high wound exudate, reducing the frequency of dressing changes.
• Promotes Moist Wound Healing: Maintains an optimal moist environment conducive to faster healing and reduced scarring.
• Shower-Proof Design: Allows patients to shower without needing to remove or replace the dressing, enhancing quality of life.
• All-in-One Solution: Combines absorbent foam, gentle adhesive, and a breathable backing film in a single, convenient dressing.
• Reduced Risk of Maceration: High fluid handling capacity helps prevent moisture-associated skin damage around the wound.

How to Use

1. Cleanse the Wound: Gently clean the wound area with saline solution or as directed by a healthcare professional. Pat the surrounding skin dry.
2. Select the Right Size: Choose a Mepilex Border Flex Oval dressing that extends at least 1-2 cm beyond the wound edges.
3. Prepare the Dressing: Remove the release films from the adhesive side of the dressing.
4. Apply the Dressing: Place the adhesive side of the dressing onto the wound, ensuring full contact with the surrounding skin. Do not stretch the dressing during application.
5. Smooth Down Edges: Gently smooth the edges of the dressing to ensure secure adhesion.
6. Dressing Change: Change the dressing when the exudate reaches the transparent backing film, or as advised by a healthcare professional. The dressing can be worn for several days depending on wound condition and exudate level.
