Description
Mepilex Border Flex Lite 4x5cm by Molnlycke is an advanced wound care solution designed for non- to moderately exuding wounds. This thin, highly conformable foam dressing is ideal for managing various wound types, including leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, and traumatic wounds such as abrasions, blisters, and skin tears. It also serves to protect compromised or fragile skin.
Key Features
-
360° Flex Technology: Enhances the dressing's conformability, allowing it to move in every direction. This reduces skin stress and increases comfort, making it up to four times more adaptable than Mepilex Border Lite.
-
Safetac® Technology: Minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes by providing a gentle wound contact layer, protecting both the wound and surrounding skin.
-
4-Layer Construction: Effectively absorbs, channels, and retains exudate away from the wound bed. This design includes an exudate progress monitor with a grid of dots to track exudate without disturbing the wound.
-
Breathable Backing Film: Maintains a moist wound environment while being waterproof, thus shielding the wound from dirt and bacteria. The dressing is shower-proof, though not suitable for bathing.
Usage Instructions
-
Application: Remove the release film and apply to dry skin, ensuring a 1–2 cm overlap around the wound. Smooth the borders without stretching.
-
Removal: Change the dressing if exudate leaks or when the absorbent pad is 75% full. Removal should be gentle to minimize trauma.
Additional Benefits
-
Discreet Design: Thin and comfortable, it stays in place even on challenging body contours.
-
Long Wear Time: Can remain in place for up to seven days, depending on wound and skin condition, or as advised by a healthcare professional.
-
Single-Use and Sterile: Each dressing is intended for single use and is supplied sterile, packaged in a box of 10.
Environmental Considerations
The product is certified by ISCC and uses FSC certified paper in its packaging, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.
Mepilex Border Flex Lite 4x5cm is primarily intended for use by healthcare professionals but can be applied by others if necessary, offering a reliable and versatile dressing solution for effective wound management.
