Molnlycke Mepilex Border Flex Silicone Foam Dressing with Safetac

Advanced all-in-one silicone foam dressing engineered for high conformability and effective exudate management. Mepilex Border Flex by Molnlycke combines Safetac® soft silicone technology with Flex Technology and a multi-layer absorbent structure to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds while reducing pain and trauma during dressing changes.

This design is built to stay in place on challenging anatomical areas, especially joints and high-movement zones, while maintaining a controlled moist wound environment.

✔ Safetac® soft silicone layer reduces pain at removal
✔ Flex Technology enables 360° conformability
✔ Multi-layer foam structure absorbs and channels exudate
✔ Helps reduce risk of leakage and maceration
✔ Designed for high-movement anatomical sites

What Is Mepilex Border Flex?

Mepilex Border Flex is a five-layer self-adherent foam dressing that incorporates Safetac® silicone technology and proprietary Flex cutting design. The structure allows the dressing to move in multiple directions while maintaining contact with the wound area, improving performance in dynamic or difficult-to-dress locations.

The dressing consists of a silicone wound contact layer, absorbent foam core, spreading layer, retention layer, and a waterproof outer film barrier.

Indications — Wound Types

• Pressure injuries and pressure ulcers
• Venous leg ulcers
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Surgical wounds
• Traumatic wounds
• Skin tears
• Partial and full-thickness wounds
• Moderate to heavily exuding wounds

Flex Technology Advantage

Flex Technology allows the dressing to stretch and conform in multiple directions, helping maintain contact during movement and reducing edge lift.

• 360° stretch for improved conformability
• Better performance on joints and curved surfaces
• Improved stability during patient movement
• Enhanced exudate distribution within dressing layers

This helps maintain dressing integrity and wear time in high-motion areas.

Exudate Management System

The multi-layer structure absorbs, channels, and traps wound fluid within the dressing, helping maintain a balanced moist wound environment.

• Absorbs moderate to heavy wound exudate
• Spreads fluid across internal layers
• Helps reduce leakage and strike-through
• Supports periwound skin protection

Application & Use

• Clean wound per clinical protocol
• Select size extending beyond wound margins
• Apply directly with silicone contact layer to wound
• Ensure full contact without excessive stretching
• No secondary fixation typically 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
