Description

Mepilex Border Flex Dressing by Mölnlycke is an innovative solution for managing moderately to highly exuding wounds. Designed with advanced technology, this dressing offers exceptional conformability, making it ideal for challenging anatomical areas and patient movement.

Key Features

• Five-Layer Construction: Effectively absorbs, channels, and retains exudate to minimize leakage and maceration.
• Flex Technology: Provides 360° stretch for multidirectional flexibility, ensuring the dressing stays in place and reduces skin stress.
• Safetac® Technology: A soft silicone layer that minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes, protecting new tissue.

Unique Benefits

• Exudate Progress Monitor: An integrated grid system allows for tracking exudate spread without removing the dressing, optimizing change timing.
• Moisture Management: High moisture vapor transmission rate supports a moist wound environment and extends wear time.
• Protection: Waterproof and bacteria-resistant outer film layer, allowing patients to shower while safeguarding the wound.

Versatility and Application

Mepilex Border Flex is suitable for various wound types, including pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and more. It is designed for single use and can be applied to a wide range of anatomical locations, including joints and contoured areas.

Usage Instructions

• Application: Apply to clean, dry skin with a 1–2 cm overlap of the wound pad. Smooth the borders without stretching.
• Removal: Gently peel back the dressing. Change if exudate leaks, the pad is 75% full, or infection is suspected.
