Health care professionals have trusted the proven all-in-one foam dressing Mepilex® Border for years. The New Mepilex® Border Comfort Family is an evolution of this, thanks to is unique combination of Flex Technology and Safetac®. It is designed to conform and stay on, aiming to give time back to nurses, realise cost saving for managers and improve quality of life for patients..1  2 

As a patient’s wound heals, the levels of exudate rise and fall, and so do the demands from the dressing. When dealing with a smaller, less exuding wound or a wound located on a challenging contour, a lite dressing could be a perfect fit. New Mepilex® Border Comfort Lite introduces Flex Technology into bordered foam lite dressings, allowing the dressing to stay on and uniquely conform.

Mepilex® Border Comfort family now has you covered for all stages of wound healing.

Efficient wound healing without compromise

Introducing proprietary Flex Technology

We’re always working to deliver innovative solutions, and cutting-edge Flex Technology is the latest among them. This proprietary technology enables the 360° stretch in Mepilex Border Comfort, thanks to patent-pending Y-cuts in the retention and spreading layers. 

Unique Flex Technology = 360o Flexibility

Thanks to Flex Technology, the unique conformability of Mepilex Border Comfort allows it to adapt to the shape and movement of the patient.  3  Reducing pressure on the skin and pull on the borders increases comfort and minimizes the risk of detachment.  6

Effective Dressing Change Management

Smart Exudate Management

Rapid absorption with minimal swelling:

The foam layer allows rapid absorption of both normal and viscous exudate  7   8  and it is better at handling exudate than comparable dressings.  4  

Maximises capacity by channelling exudate:

Exudate is channelled away from the wound and over a wider area to increase moisture vapour loss and reduce swelling.  9   10 

 

Traps bacteria away from the wound:*

The superabsorbent fibres in the retention layer prevent exudate containing bacteria from re-entering the wound bed, even under compression.  11  Backing film prevents entry of external bacteria.  12 

Tracks exudate without dressing removal:

The Exudate Progress Monitor allows the spread of exudate to be objectively assessed and recorded, without disturbing the wound.  13 

*Not available in Mepilex® Border Comfort Lite.
