Information
Mepilex Border Flex Dressings by Molnlycke stand at the forefront of modern wound care technology, skillfully combining flexibility and security to cater to dynamic body movements while offering superior protection and comfort. These dressings are meticulously designed for a range of wounds, including post-operative sites, trauma wounds, and chronic ulcers, adapting seamlessly to places that require frequent dressing changes due to high levels of exudate or movement.
Advanced Features and Benefits:
- Safetac® Technology: The inclusion of Safetac® technology is a significant advantage of Mepilex Border Flex. This silicone adhesive layer minimizes pain and reduces the risk of skin damage when the dressing is changed, making it an ideal choice for sensitive skin and painful wounds.
- Highly Absorbent: The dressings are composed of a five-layer structure that efficiently absorbs and retains exudate. This capacity helps maintain a moist wound environment, which is crucial for optimal healing and minimizes the risk of leakage and maceration.
- Extended Wear Time: Thanks to their excellent absorption and retention capabilities, Mepilex Border Flex dressings can remain in place for several days, depending on the condition of the wound and the level of exudate. This feature lessens the frequency of dressing changes, reducing discomfort for the patient and workload for caregivers.
- Showerproof and Bacterial Barrier: The outer layer of the dressing is both water-resistant and acts as a barrier to bacteria, protecting the wound from external contamination and allowing patients the freedom to shower without compromising their wound care routine.
Sizes and Suitability: Mepilex Border Flex Dressings are available in multiple sizes to accommodate different wound dimensions and locations:
10cm x 10cm: This size is suitable for medium wounds or areas requiring broader coverage. It provides ample protection while maintaining skin integrity and comfort
Clinical Applications: The Mepilex Border Flex is versatile and effectively used in various clinical scenarios:
- Pressure Ulcers: Reduces pressure and manages exudate to prevent further deterioration of the wound.
- Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Manages moisture and shields against external contaminants, crucial in diabetic wound management.
- Surgical Incisions: Provides a gentle yet secure environment that promotes healing and prevents infection post-surgery.
- Trauma Wounds: Adapts to challenging body contours and movement, staying in place to protect and heal.
