Description
Mepilex Border 4×4 Inch Bandages represent advanced wound care technology from Mölnlycke, a trusted leader in medical solutions. These self-adherent foam dressings feature Safetac technology, which minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes while protecting the wound and surrounding skin. The multilayer design includes a soft silicone wound contact layer that gently adheres to dry skin but not to moist wound beds, preventing tissue damage upon removal. The absorbent foam pad effectively manages exudate while maintaining optimal moisture balance for faster healing. The breathable backing film allows moisture vapor to escape while protecting against external contamination. Ideal for moderate to highly exuding wounds including pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and post-operative wounds. Healthcare professionals and patients trust Mepilex Border for its proven ability to promote healing while ensuring comfort and ease of use.
Suggested Use
Clean wound area thoroughly before application. Remove protective backing and center dressing over wound, ensuring 2-3cm overlap onto healthy skin. Press edges gently to secure adhesion. Change dressing when clinically indicated, typically every 3-7 days depending on wound condition and exudate levels. Remove slowly by lifting corners and stretching horizontally.
