Mepilex Border Flex

Conformable and Ready for Real Life

This bordered foam dressing with proprietary Flex Technology is designed to be more flexible than comparable dressings, adapting to body movement and providing comfort during wear.

The wound contact layer technology works with Flex Technology to:

• Allow the dressing to stay on longer than non-flexible dressings

• Reduce pain and trauma during dressing changes

This helps patients continue with daily life during treatment. Longer wear time may also help reduce dressing-related costs and waste.

Areas of Use

This dressing is suitable for a wide range of exuding wounds, including:

• Pressure ulcers

• Leg and foot ulcers

• Traumatic wounds (e.g., skin tears)

• Surgical wounds

It can also be used on dry or necrotic wounds in combination with gels.

Additional uses include:

• Reducing postoperative blistering

• Part of preventive therapy to help reduce the risk of skin damage, such as pressure ulcers

Note

In the presence of clinical signs of infection, the dressing may continue to be used if proper infection treatment is initiated.
