Frequently Bought Together


How to use Mepilex Border Lite All-in-one Foam Dressing?

  1. Gently cleanse the wound
  2. Thoroughly dry the surrounding skin as the dressing will not stick to a moist surface
  3. Choose a dressing that will allow the dressing to overlap the wound area by 1 to 2 cm
  4. Mepilex border sizes can be adjusted, by cutting into the desired size if required
  5. Remove the release film from one side and apply the dressing to the side of the wound. Remember not to stretch the dressing.
  6. Remove the remaining portion of the release film and smooth the dressing in place. If there is a need for extra fixation, apply it only around the margins of the dressing. For best results, the size of the wound pad should overlap the wound.

When to change?

  • Change interval is determined by the amount of wound exudate.
  • It can stay in place for up to seven days. This depends on the wound condition and the amount of exudate.

Safety Precautions

  • It should not be used with oxidizing agents
  • Should be stored in dry conditions below 35 degrees C (95 degrees F)
  • It should be protected from direct sunlight
  • In case of signs of clinical infection, consult a healthcare professional for adequate infection treatment
  • Do not use if the inner package is damaged as sterility is assured only if the inner package is intact
  • Do not re-sterilize
  • It can be used in the presence of clinical infection if appropriate antimicrobial therapy is also provided
  • There may be an apparent increase in wound size during the first days of treatment due to the moist healing environment
  • An increase in size at first is normal and to be expected
