Mepilex Border Comfort

Prophylactic dressings Mölnlycke

Mepilex Border Comfort

Bordered, 5 layer, self-adherent, absorbent foam dressing. Can be used for treatment as well as prevention and can be used under compression bandaging. The 5 layers are; 1) a soft silicone wound contact layer (Safetac), which is a unique adhesive technology which minimises pain to patients and trauma to wounds and the surrounding skin at dressing removal. Layers 2,3,4) make up a flexible absorbent pad which consist of a polyurethane foam and a non-woven spreading layer and a layer with super absorbent polyacrylate fibres. Flex cut technology within these layers allows the dressing to conform to even the most challenging of anatomies. Fluid is spread effectively within the dressing, maximising exudate management and may be left in place up to 7 days. 5) an outer polyurethane film which is vapour permeable and waterproof. The waterproof outer layer protects the wound from dirt and bacteria.

Indications

Designed for both treatment and prevention (as part of a prophylactic regime) for pressure ulcers, it is also used for treatment of a wide range of exuding wounds such as leg and foot ulcers, traumatic wounds (e.g. skin tears) and surgical wounds. Can also be used on dry/necrotic wounds in combination with gels.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to dressing materials; use with oxidising agents such as hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide; signs of clinical infection (do not reuse; do not use if sterile barrier is damaged or opened prior to use; do not re-sterilise)
