Unique 5-Layer Absorbent Foam Structure:

Five layered structure of Mepilex Border Heel foam dressing maintains a balanced microclimate and a normal moisture level. The three separate inner foam layers are able to move independently and dissipate shear. Their thickness distributes pressure over a large surface area.

  • Highly breathable backing film: Offers a waterproof and secure barrier to virus and bacteria greater than 25nm. Minimizes friction between the dressing and the bed linens.
  • Superabsorbent layer: Absorbs and retains fluids in the dressing.
  • Nonwoven spreading layer: Distributes fluid on a large surface and maximize absorption performance.
  • Foam layer: Initiates vertical absorption of wound exudate.
  • Safetac layer: Seals the wound edges to minimize the risk of maceration, patient pain and trauma to the wound and skin.

When to use Mepilex Heel Border Dressing?

Mepilex Border Heel is indicated for the following conditions:

  • Heel ulcers
  • Preventing skin damage
  • Pressure ulcers
  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Traumatic wounds
  • Secondary healing wounds
  • Medium to high exudation
  • Burn
  • Traumatic wound

Mepilex Safetac Technology:

Safetac technology allows the Mepilex dressing to gently adhere to the skin without adhering to the moist wound bed, thereby minimizing damage to the surrounding skin and wound. It seals the wound edges and prevents exudate from escaping. This helps in protecting the newly formed tissue and promotes natural healing of the wound. Safetac technology maintains optimal positioning and limits shear and friction at the patient-dressing interface. It allows repositioning of the dressing after skin inspection.
