Benefits of Mepilex Border Flex Dressing

• Designed to conform and stay on

Mepilex® Border Flex has greater conformability compared to other bordered foam dressings tested due to unique Flex Technology. A dressing that moves with the patient and stays on even in the shower. Gives more time back to nurses to focus on care, not unscheduled dressing changes.

Smart exudate management

The five-layer dressing absorbs, channels and traps exudate and allows you to track exudate progress. Keeping exudate away from the wound bed, and preventing re-entry, even under compression. It has up to 2.

2 times greater exudate handling compared to other tested bordered foam dressings and can handle both normal and viscous exudate.

Reduced pain and damage

Mepilex's proven Safetac® technology means less pain and damage during dressing changes, and reduced risk of maceration than traditional (adhesive) dressings.

Areas of use

Being available in square, oval and rectangular shapes, it can be used on a wide range of wounds and considered as your ‘go to’ all-in-one dressing.

Easy application

3-part release liner can help you to place your dressing accurately and securely, avoiding wrinkles, rolled edges and re-applications.
