Mepilex Border Sacrum Foam Dressing is a unique five-layer construction that effectively prevents pressure ulcers and manages sacral wounds. Its Deep Defense technology achieves an ideal blend of strength and flexibility. Helps to protect against pressure, shear and friction. The dressing effectively absorbs and retains exudate, ensuring a moist wound environment conducive to healing. The Safetac technology layer seals the wound edges, preventing leakage and minimizing maceration while allowing for gentle, pain-free dressing changes.

Features:

• Latex free.
• Self-adhesive soft silicone bordered foam dressing that is waterproof and bacteria resistant.
• Absorbs moderate to high levels of exudate.
• Anatomically designed for the sacral area.
• Proven to minimize pressure ulcers by up to 88% when used in a preventative regimen.
• Deep Defense Technology defends against pressure, shear, and friction while managing microclimate.
• Safetac technology decreases pain and lowers the danger of maceration.
• Excellent fluid management and retention.

When to use:

• Pressure Ulcer Prevention: Mepilex Border is the 5-layer foam dressing with clinical trials (RCTs) demonstrating the isolated effect of the dressing in preventing pressure ulcers.
• Wound Management: Suitable for medium-to-high exuding sacral wounds, such as pressure ulcers or surgical excision of pilonidal cysts

Note: The dressing maintains a moist wound environment, which supports debridement, so you might see an initial increase in the wound size. This is normal and to be expected.
