What is Mepilex Border Dressing?

Mepilex border is an all-in-one multi-layered foam dressing that maintains a moist healing environment for moderate to highly exuding wounds by absorbing the excess exudate. Safetec layer locks the wound discharge inside the dressing and prevents it from leaking. It also ensures that the dressing comes out easily without causing any skin damage. Once this dressing is applied, there is no requirement of a secondary dressing. It is perfect for treating pressure ulcers, skin tears, and dry wounds.
