When to use Mepilex Border

You can use Mepilex Border in the treatment of a wide range of exuding chronic and acute wounds; and secondary healing wounds. Our soft, conformable dressing maintains a moist wound environment – so you can trust it to effectively absorb and retain exudate.

You can choose from a large selection of wound dressing sizes – to suit from small to large wounds. We also have shaped dressings for wounds located on challenging areas of the body.

Mepilex Border can also be used as part of a prophylactic regimen to help prevent pressure ulcers  1. It’s been demonstrated to act on the four extrinsic factors that can contribute to the development of pressure ulcers: to redistribute shear, redistribute pressure, reduce friction, and to maintain an optimal microclimate  12   13   14.

You can reposition Mepilex Border after a skin assessment.
