Mepilex Border Flex Oval Dressing 7.8 x 10cm - Box of 5

🔷 Product Overview

The Mepilex® Border Flex Oval Dressing 7.8 x 10 cm is an advanced self-adherent soft silicone foam dressing designed to provide secure, comfortable coverage on curved and difficult-to-dress body areas. Its unique oval shape combined with innovative Flex Technology allows the dressing to conform closely to body contours while maintaining a secure fit during everyday movement.

Featuring a gentle Safetac® Soft Silicone Contact Layer, the dressing helps minimize pain and skin trauma during dressing changes while protecting fragile surrounding skin. The multi-layer absorbent foam pad effectively manages wound exudate, helping maintain an optimal moist wound healing environment that supports the natural healing process.

Suitable for a wide variety of exuding wounds and preventative skin protection applications, Mepilex Border Flex Oval can remain in place for up to 7 days depending on wound condition and clinical assessment. It is also suitable for use under compression therapy when clinically appropriate.
