Mepilex Border Heel Dressing 22 x 23 cm - Box of 10

🔷 Product Overview

The Mepilex® Border Heel Dressing 22 x 23 cm is a self-adherent, multi-layer soft silicone foam dressing specifically designed for the heel area, providing both pressure injury prevention and wound management. Its anatomical heel shape conforms securely around the heel to help protect vulnerable skin while delivering effective exudate management and patient comfort.

Featuring Safetac® Technology, Mepilex Border Heel helps minimize pain and skin trauma during dressing changes while maintaining secure adhesion. The advanced absorbent construction includes a foam layer, spreading layer, and superabsorbent fibers that work together to absorb and retain exudate, helping maintain an optimal moist wound healing environment and reduce the risk of maceration.

The breathable waterproof outer film protects the wound and surrounding skin from dirt, bacteria, and external contaminants while allowing moisture vapor transmission. Designed for both treatment and prevention, Mepilex Border Heel is commonly used as part of comprehensive pressure injury prevention programs.
