Mepilex Border Sacrum Dressing 16 x 20 cm - Box of 10

🔷 Product Overview

The Mepilex® Border Sacrum Dressing 16 x 20 cm is a self-adherent, all-in-one soft silicone foam dressing specifically shaped for the sacral area. Designed for both pressure injury prevention and wound management, this advanced dressing combines Safetac® Technology, a highly absorbent multi-layer foam pad, and a breathable waterproof backing to provide effective exudate management while helping protect fragile skin.

The unique sacrum shape conforms securely to the body's contours, making it ideal for the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries in high-risk areas. The gentle Safetac® wound contact layer helps minimize pain and trauma during dressing changes while protecting surrounding skin.

Its multi-layer absorbent structure absorbs and locks away exudate, helping maintain an optimal moist wound healing environment while reducing the risk of maceration. The waterproof outer film protects against dirt, bacteria, and external contaminants while allowing the skin to breathe.
