Mepilex Border has excellent fluid handling properties because of the following:
Safetac layer-impedes horizontal leakage
Absorption layer-ensures quick and effective absorption
Spreading layer-spreads the exudate into the retention layers
Retention layer-impedes exudate from being pushed back into the skin to reduce the risk of maceration
Backing film-highly breathable; waterproof and bacteria proof to protect the wound from outer contamination
Areas of use
Mepilex Border is designed for a wide range of moderate to highly exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, leg and foot ulcers and traumatic wounds (e.g., skin tears and secondary healing wounds).
