Mepilex® Border Flex is an advanced, sterile bordered foam dressing designed for real-life results and reduced treatment time. Featuring proprietary Flex Technology, this dressing is proven to be more flexible than comparable bordered foam dressings, allowing it to adapt to body movement and remain comfortable for the duration of wear. Whether managing a chronic condition or a sudden injury, Mepilex Border Flex is your versatile, multipurpose solution—designed to stay in place, handle more fluid, and protect the wound bed. Key Features & Benefits 1. Conformable and Ready for Real Life Proprietary Flex Technology enables 360-degree stretch, allowing the dressing to mirror natural body movements. It distributes load force evenly, which patients consider highly comfortable. It is proven to adhere and stay in place better than non-flexible dressings, avoiding premature detachment even on challenging areas like joints or curved surfaces. 2. Superior Exudate (Fluid) Management Mepilex Border Flex is proven to have better fluid handling than comparable dressings. The unique 5-layer construction effectively: Absorbs and Traps: It manages exudate containing bacteria, trapping it better than other foam dressings to prevent re-entry into the wound bed. Versatile Viscosity: It is engineered to handle both normal and viscous (thick) fluid. High Breathability: A specialized backing film allows for a high moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), maintaining an optimal moist wound environment while acting as a waterproof barrier. 3. Pain-Free Safetac® Technology Featuring the original Safetac® soft silicone interface, the dressing minimizes pain to the patient and trauma to the wound and surrounding skin during removal. This leads to better patient compliance and less stress during dressing changes. 4. Improved Economic Outcomes By combining better adhesion with superior fluid capacity, Mepilex Border Flex allows for longer wear times (up to 7 days). Fewer dressing changes mean reduced nursing time, lower waste, and a more cost-effective treatment journey. 5. Discreet and Low-Profile The dressing maintains a thin, low-profile even when saturated with fluid. This enhances patient confidence, allowing them to "get on with life" without the dressing feeling bulky or obvious under clothing. Ideal For: This versatile dressing is designed for a wide range of exuding acute and chronic wounds, including: Pressure Ulcers (Bed sores) Diabetic Foot Ulcers Leg and Foot Ulcers Skin Tears Surgical Wounds Traumatic Wounds (e.g., abrasions or lacerations) Specifications Product Size: 10 x 10 cm (4" x 4") Adhesive Type: Safetac® Soft Silicone Flexibility: 360 degree Flex Technology (Proprietary) Wear Time: Up to 7 days, depending on wound condition Packaging: Box of 10 individual sterile dressings Barrier Properties: Waterproof, Virus-proof, and Bacteria-proof How to Use Cleanse: Clean the wound area according to standard clinical practice. Dry the surrounding skin (periwound) thoroughly to ensure a good seal. Apply: Remove the release films and apply the adherent side to the wound. Do not stretch the dressing during application; let the Flex technology naturally conform to the skin. Secure: Smooth down the border firmly against the skin. Monitor: The dressing can remain in place for several days. Change the dressing when clinically indicated, if the fluid reaches the edge of the absorbent pad, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Note: Always consult with a healthcare professional for the proper management of serious, infected, or chronic wounds. Instructions for UseApplication Guide Show more
