Mepilex Border Flex Dressing - Box of 10

🔷 Product Overview

The Mepilex® Border Flex Dressing is an advanced all-in-one soft silicone foam dressing designed for the management of moderate to highly exuding wounds. Featuring innovative 360° Flex™ Technology, the dressing stretches and conforms in every direction, allowing it to stay securely in place on challenging body contours while supporting patient comfort and mobility.

Its advanced 5-layer construction absorbs, channels, and locks away wound exudate and bacteria while maintaining an optimal moist wound healing environment. The integrated Exudate Progress Monitor allows visual tracking of fluid spread without removing the dressing, helping reduce unnecessary dressing changes and minimizing disruption to the healing process.

Built with Safetac® Soft Silicone Technology, Mepilex Border Flex helps reduce pain and skin trauma during dressing changes while protecting fragile surrounding skin. Suitable for both acute and chronic wounds, it can be used under compression therapy and may remain in place for up to 7 days depending on wound condition and clinical assessment.
