Mepilex Border Sacrum 16x20cm 5 Box

Mepilex Border Sacrum 16x20cm 5/Box: Advanced Wound Care for the Sacral Area

Mepilex Border Sacrum is an innovative all-in-one foam dressing specifically engineered for effective management of wounds in the challenging sacral region. Designed by Molnlycke, a leader in wound care, this dressing integrates the unique Safetac technology, which ensures gentle adhesion to the surrounding skin but not to the moist wound bed. This critical feature minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes, promoting an optimal healing environment. Each box contains 5 sterile dressings, precisely sized at 16x20cm, offering comprehensive coverage and protection for various wound types including pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, and other chronic or acute wounds.

Key Benefits of Mepilex Border Sacrum

• Gentle Adhesion: Safetac technology allows for atraumatic dressing changes, significantly reducing pain for the patient and avoiding damage to fragile periwound skin or new tissue.
• Effective Exudate Management: The highly absorbent foam layer efficiently handles moderate to high levels of exudate, preventing maceration of the surrounding skin and maintaining a moist wound environment conducive to healing.
• Conformable Design: The sacral shape and flexible material conform comfortably to the contours of the sacral area, ensuring a secure fit and minimizing the risk of leakage and premature detachment.
• Waterproof and Bacterial Barrier: The outer film is waterproof, allowing patients to shower, and acts as a barrier against bacteria and viruses, reducing the risk of external contamination and infection.
• Supports Healing: By maintaining an optimal moist wound environment, the dressing supports natural wound healing processes.

How to Use Mepilex Border Sacrum

1. Clean the Wound: Gently cleanse the wound and surrounding skin with an appropriate wound cleanser or saline solution. Ensure the area is thoroughly dried before application.
2. Select Size: Choose a dressing size that covers the wound and extends at least 1-2 cm onto the surrounding healthy, dry skin.
3. Prepare Dressing: Remove the release films from the adhesive (Safetac) side of the dressing.
4. Apply to Wound: Position the dressing over the wound, ensuring the center of the dressing aligns with the wound bed. Smooth down the edges firmly to ensure good adhesion, particularly around the sacral curves.
5. Secure and Inspect: The dressing should remain securely in place. Check periodically for signs of saturation or lifting edges.
6. Dressing Changes: Change the dressing as per clinical guidelines, when the exudate reaches the edges of the dressing, or as indicated by a healthcare professional.
