Description

Mepilex® Border Flex by Mölnlycke is an innovative wound care solution designed to manage a variety of exuding wounds effectively. This advanced foam dressing features a unique five-layer construction, providing exceptional exudate management and moisture control. Its design includes a highly breathable, water-resistant backing film that acts as a barrier against bacteria and viruses, ensuring a safe healing environment.

Key Features

• Flex Technology: Offers 360° stretch, allowing the dressing to conform seamlessly to challenging body contours. This reduces skin stress and ensures the dressing stays securely in place, even on difficult-to-dress areas.
• Safetac® Technology: The soft silicone contact layer minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes, making it suitable for fragile or sensitive skin.
• Exudate Progress Monitor: A visual grid that helps track exudate levels, optimizing dressing change frequency and enhancing wound care management.

Benefits

• Long Wear Time: High moisture vapor transmission rate supports extended wear time, up to seven days, depending on wound condition.
• Waterproof Design: Allows patients to shower without compromising the wound's protection, providing convenience and peace of mind.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for a wide range of wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, and burns. It can also be used prophylactically to prevent skin damage.

Application Guidelines

• Placement: The dressing should extend 1–2 cm beyond the wound edge. Change the dressing if exudate approaches the edge or as clinically indicated.
• Precautions: Not suitable for use with oxidizing agents or on infected wounds without proper treatment. Store below 95°F (35°C) and ensure peri-wound skin is dry before application.
