Molnlycke Mepilex Border Ag Silver Dressing

Product Description:

Mepilex Border Ag consists of a Safetac soft silicone wound contact layer, an absorbent polyurethane foam pad containing silver sulphate and coloured by activated carbon, a layer with super absorbent fibres, a non-woven and a breathable and water proof film.

Safetac is a proprietary adhesive technology developed by Mölnlycke that minimises pain to patients and trauma to intact skin or wounds.

Mepilex Border Ag is a soft silicone foam dressing that absorbs exudate, maintains a moist wound healing environment and has antimicrobial properties.

Mepilex Border Ag contains silver sulphate to create an effective bacterial barrier and inactivate a wide range of wound related pathogens (bacteria and fungi), as shown in vitro. By reducing the number of micro-organisms, Mepilex Border Ag may also reduce odour. Mepilex Border Ag has been shown to inactivate wound related pathogens up to 7 days in vitro.

Areas of Use:

Mepilex Border Ag is designed for the management of medium to high exuding leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, malignant wounds, partial thickness burns, traumatic and surgical wounds where a moist environment, exudate handling, gentle fixation and an antimicrobial action is indicated. Mepilex Border Ag may be used on infected wounds as part of a treatment regimen under supervision of a qualified health care professional. Mepilex Border Ag can be used under compression bandaging.
