Features:

• Antimicrobial: The dressing features a unique technology that releases silver ions continuously for up to 7 days. This sustained release helps to effectively kill bacteria and prevent infections, even in heavily colonized wounds.
• Highly Absorbent: The soft and flexible foam core of the dressing is designed to absorb and retain exudate, creating a moist wound environment that promotes optimal healing. It also helps to protect the surrounding skin from maceration.
• Conformable and Gentle: Mepilex Border Ag is designed to conform well to the body’s contours, even in difficult-to-dress areas like elbows, knees, and sacral areas. It is also gentle on the skin, minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes.
• Self-Adhesive: The dressing features a secure adhesive border that eliminates the need for additional fixation tapes. This makes it easy to apply and remove, even for patients with limited dexterity.
• Showerproof: The dressing is water-resistant and can be worn while showering or bathing, allowing for greater patient comfort and convenience.

Benefits:

• Promotes faster healing: By providing a moist wound environment and preventing infection, Mepilex Border Ag can significantly accelerate the healing process.
• Reduces pain and discomfort: The gentle and conformable design of the dressing minimizes pain and discomfort during dressing changes, improving patient comfort and compliance.
• Protects surrounding skin: The absorbent core of the dressing helps to protect the surrounding skin from maceration and irritation, reducing the risk of additional complications.
• Easy to use: The self-adhesive design makes the dressing easy to apply and remove, saving time and resources for healthcare professionals.
• Cost-effective: While initially appearing more expensive than some traditional dressings, Mepilex Border Ag can actually be more cost-effective in the long run due to its ability to promote faster healing and reduce the risk of complications.
