Mepilex® Border Flex is a five-layer bordered foam dressing with proprietary Flex Technology to enable movement in every direction, reducing skin stress, increasing comfort and keeping the dressing in place. Absorbs, channels and traps exudate and allows for tracking progress.
• Easy to handle
• Flexible and conformable
• Atraumatic to the wound and surrounding skin at dressing removal
• Reduces risks of leakage and maceration
• High moisture vapor transmission rate for longer wear time
• Spreading layer distributes fluid over a wide surface area to maximize fluid transport to the retention layer and backing film
• Exudate progress monitor lets you track and record fluid, potentially avoiding excess dressing changes
Mepilex® Border Flex is indicated for the management of a wide range of moderately to highly exuding chronic and acute wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure injuries, skin tears and traumatic wounds.
In case of clinical signs of infection, the use of Mepilex® Border Flex may be continued if proper infection treatment is initiated.
