What Is Mepilex Border?

Mepilex Border is a multi-layer bordered foam dressing designed for wound fluid management and patient comfort. It features a soft silicone Safetac layer that gently adheres to intact skin but does not stick to the moist wound bed, allowing for atraumatic dressing removal.

The dressing consists of a foam absorption layer, a spreading layer to distribute exudate, and a waterproof outer film that protects against external contamination while maintaining breathability.

Indications — Wound Types

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

How Safetac Technology Works

Safetac is a soft silicone contact layer designed to minimize pain and trauma during dressing removal. It adheres gently to dry surrounding skin but does not stick to the moist wound surface.

• Seals wound edges to reduce leakage
• Helps prevent maceration of surrounding skin
• Reduces pain during dressing changes
• Protects fragile or newly formed tissue

Exudate Management

The foam core absorbs wound fluid and distributes it across the dressing structure, helping maintain an optimal moisture balance while reducing leakage risk.

• Absorbs and retains wound exudate
• Reduces risk of strike-through and leakage
• Helps protect periwound skin from excess moisture
• Supports moist wound healing environment

Application & Use

• Clean wound according to protocol
• Select dressing size that overlaps wound margins
• Apply directly to wound with adhesive border
• Ensure secure placement without stretching
• No secondary fixation required

Note: Dressing selection and wear time should follow clinical guidance based on wound condition and exudate level.

When to Change Dressing

• When exudate approaches dressing edge
• When clinically indicated based on wound assessment
• Typically several days depending on wound condition
• Change sooner if leakage or saturation occurs
