Mepilex Border Heel Foam Dressing

Designed for preventing chronic ulcers, Mepilex® Border Heel dressings use a five-layer system with Deep Defense™ technology. This combination provides the right amount of strength and absorption without compromising its flexibility. How it Works Supported by over 80 pieces of research, Mepilex® Border Heel dressings hold onto exudate and create a moist healing environment through a multipart system: • Safetac technology helps close the wound’s edges and prevents exudate from leaking and spreading to surrounding skin. During dressing changes, this layer works to prevent adhesion, thus reducing damage to the wound bed and surrounding skin and lessening patient pain. • Deep Defense™ technology specifically targets factors contributing to pressure ulcers, guarding the area against extrinsic pressure, shearing and friction, and creating an ideal climate. • A five-layer absorbent foam structure draws in exudate to manage wet wounds while controlling moisture, blocking out bacteria and reducing skin damage. This dressing: • Is non-traumatic to the wound and surrounding skin at removal for undisturbed healing. • Provides less painful dressing changes, resulting in less stress for patients and caregivers. • Reduces the risk of leakage and maceration. • Maintains a moist environment for optimized wound healing. • Is tailored for the heel. • Eliminates the need for a custom-cut dressing. • Won’t compromise patient mobility.
