Molnlycke Mepilex Border Flex Dressing 7.8 x 10cm, Oval

Product Description:

Mepilex Border Flex is a self-adherent, absorbent dressing that maintains a moist wound environment. The waterproof outer layer protects the wound from dirt and bacteria. The dressing has a Safetac® wound contact layer that is a unique adhesive technology. It minimises pain to patients and trauma to wounds and the surrounding skin at dressing removal.

Mepilex Border Flex consists of:

A wound contact layer consisting of soft silicone adhesive (Safetac) and a film carrier
A flexible absorbent pad in three layers: a foam, a non-woven spreading layer and a layer with super absorbent fibres; the wound pad is partly perforated with Flex cut technology
An outer film which is breathable but waterproof, providing a barrier to external contaminants

Areas of Use:

Mepilex Border Flex is designed for a wide range of exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, leg and foot ulcers, traumatic wounds (e.g. skin tears) and surgical wounds. Mepilex Border Flex can also be used on dry/necrotic wounds in combination with gels. Mepilex Border Flex reduces postoperative blistering, and may also be used as part of a prophylactic therapy to help prevent skin damage, e.g. pressure ulcers.
