Description: MEPILEX BORDER SACRUM FOAM DRESSING Size: 22 x 25cm / 8.7 x 9.8in Mepilex Border Sacrum is an all-in-one foam dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The dressing is specifically shaped to fit the sacral area. The Safetac layer seals the wound edges, preventing the exudate to leak onto the surrounding skin, thus minimising the risk for maceration. The Safetac layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain. Benefits of Mepilex Border Sacrum: Minimises pain and trauma at dressing changes Self-adherent - no secondary fixation needed Shower proof Can be used under compression bandages Promotes patient comfort during wear Can remain in place for several days depending on the condition of the wound Can be lifted and adjusted without losing its adherent properties Low potential for skin irritation an allergy Product description Mepilex Border is an absorbent and self-adherent soft silicone dressing. It consists of: a soft silicone wound contact layer (Safetac). an absorbent pad in three layers: a polyurethane foam, a nonwoven layer and a fibre mixture with superabsorbent polyacrylate fibres. An outer film which is vapour permeable and waterproof. Safetac Technology Safetac is a patented soft silicone adhesive technology. On the wound, Safetac assures non-sticking and minimal trauma on removal even in critical situations when the exudate starts to dry out. On the skin, a dressing with Safetac has gentle but secure adhesion with no epidermal stripping or pain on removal. Mode of action Mepilex Border absorbs exudate, maintains a moist wound-healing environment and minimises the risk for maceration. As Mepilex Border maintains a moist wound environment, supporting debridement, there might be an initial increase in the wound size. This is normal and to be expected. In case studies, dressings with Safetac technology have demostrated to normalise dry and scaly surrounding skin. Due to the absorption and retention properties Mepilex Border is suitable for use under compression bandaging. Mepilex Border can be used in combination with gels. Intended use Mepilex Border is designed for a wide range of exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, leg and foot ulcers and traumatic wounds e.g skin tears and surgical wounds. Mepilex Border can also be used on dry/necrotic wounds in combination with gels. Instructions for use Cleanse the wound in accordance with normal procedures. Dry the surrounding skin thoroughly. Remove the release films. Apply the adherent side to the wound. Do not stretch. On dressing removal gently lift one corner and slowly peel back the dressing. If extra fixation is needed – fixate only on the borders of the product.
