Dosage form
Application
- Select an appropriate dressing shape and size, optimised for the specific anatomical area if required. For use on wounds: The wound pad should cover at least 1 to 2 cm of the dry surrounding skin to protect the surrounding skin from maceration and to ensure secure fixation of the dressing. When used for prevention: Ensure that the wound pad completely covers the area at risk of pressure-induced injury or tissue damage.
- For use on wounds: Clean the wound according to clinical standards. Dry the skin surrounding the wound thoroughly.
- Remove the first protective film and place the adhesive side on the wound.
- Remove the remaining protective film and smooth the adhesive edge onto the skin. Do not overstretch the dressing. Mepilex® Border Flex Oval can remain on the wound for up to 7 days depending on the condition of the wound and surrounding skin and clinical practice.
- Mepilex® Border Flex Oval can also be used under compression.
- As Mepilex® Border Flex Oval maintains a moist wound environment to aid debridement, the wound may initially become larger. This is normal and should be expected.
- Changing to a different type of dressing may result in an initial increase in the amount of exudate, requiring more frequent dressing changes.
- The area at risk of pressure ulcers or tissue damage should be checked regularly in accordance with clinical practice.
