Description
The Mepilex Border Comfort is a multipurpose all-in-one foam dressing that is designed to stay on and uniquely conform, giving quality of life back to patients. The proprietary Flex Technology creates great conformability, and a dressing that is more flexible than compared bordered foam dressings.
The five-layer dressing absorbs, channels and traps exudate and allows you to track exudate progress. This keeps exudate away from the wound bed and prevents re-entry, even under compression. This dressing has better exudate handling capacity than compared bordered foam dressing and can handle both normal and viscous exudate. Mepilex Border Comfort moves with the patient and stays on, even in the shower.
The proven Safetac technology means less pain and trauma during dressing changes, and reduced risk of maceration than traditional (adhesive) dressings. Mepilex Border Comfort can be used treat a wide range of exuding chronic and acute wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, skin tears and traumatic wounds. The dressing can be used on a wide range of wounds and considered as your ‘go to’ all-in-one dressing. The proprietary three-part release liner makes it easy to apply the dressing so it can be placed accurately and securely – avoiding wrinkles, rolled edges and re-applications
Flex Technology provides excellent flexibility and conformability to avoid early detachment and is proven to handle more exudate than other all-in-one foam dressings. The Exudate Progress Monitor allows the spread of exudate to be objectively assessed and recorded, without disturbing the wound.
