Mepilex® Border Flex – Advanced All-in-One Flexible Foam Dressing with Safetac® Technology
Mepilex® Border Flex is a next-generation self-adherent foam dressing designed to offer secure coverage, moisture management, and flexible wear in clinical or care settings. Engineered with Safetac® soft silicone technology, this all-in-one dressing minimizes skin disruption during changes and promotes comfort through extended wear.
Key Features:
-
Safetac® Technology: A soft silicone contact layer that gently adheres to skin and reduces the risk of maceration and skin damage during removal
-
Advanced Exudate Management:
-
Rapid absorption: Foam layer absorbs low to high viscosity exudate efficiently
-
Exudate channeling: Spreads moisture across a wide area for better vapor release
-
Superabsorbent retention: Locks away fluid to reduce the risk of leakage, even under compression
-
-
Bacterial barrier backing: Protective outer layer helps block external contaminants
-
Exudate Progress Monitor: Visual tracking grid allows assessment of fluid spread without removing the dressing
-
Conformable Flex Technology: Designed to stretch and flex with body movement, reducing pressure on skin
-
Water-resistant: May remain in place during showering, based on clinical assessment
Benefits for Care Environments:
-
Long wear time potential: Supports fewer dressing changes based on exudate levels
-
Comfort-focused design: Gentle adhesive and flexible structure help enhance wearability
-
Resource efficiency: Reduced dressing turnover may assist with material and time savings
-
Secure fit: Contours well to different anatomical sites, helping to maintain dressing integrity
Suggested Applications:
Suitable for moderate to heavily exuding wounds as assessed by healthcare professionals. Can be used in hospitals, long-term care facilities, or supervised home care settings.
