What Is Mepilex Border Lite?

Mepilex Border Lite is a self-adherent foam dressing designed for wounds with low to moderate exudate. It features Safetac® soft silicone technology, which gently adheres to intact skin but does not stick to the moist wound bed, reducing pain and trauma during dressing changes.

The dressing consists of a thin foam pad, a breathable waterproof film, and a silicone wound contact layer that helps seal wound edges while allowing controlled moisture balance.

Indications — Wound Types

• Low to moderately exuding pressure ulcers
• Venous leg ulcers
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Surgical wounds
• Traumatic wounds
• Skin tears
• Superficial wounds
• Fragile skin protection

How Safetac Technology Works

Safetac is a patented soft silicone contact layer designed to minimize trauma during dressing removal. It adheres gently to dry surrounding skin but does not adhere to moist wound surfaces.

• Reduces pain during dressing changes
• Helps protect fragile or newly formed tissue
• Seals wound margins to reduce leakage
• Helps reduce risk of maceration
• Allows gentle repositioning without losing adhesion

Exudate Management

The thin foam layer absorbs and retains wound fluid while maintaining a moist wound environment.

• Absorbs low to moderate wound exudate
• Helps prevent leakage and strike-through
• Supports balanced moisture healing conditions
• Protects surrounding skin from excess moisture exposure

Application & Use

• Clean wound according to clinical protocol
• Select dressing size extending beyond wound margins
• Apply silicone side directly to wound
• Ensure full contact without stretching
• No secondary fixation required

When to Change Dressing

• When exudate approaches dressing edge
• Based on clinical assessment and protocol
• Typically several days depending on wound condition
• Change earlier if leakage or saturation occurs
