View package leaflet

Mepilex® Border Flex foam dressing is suitable for the treatment of a wide range of exuding wounds, including leg, foot or pressure ulcers, traumatic wounds (e.g. skin tears) and surgical wounds.

Mepilex Border Flex is a self-adhesive, absorbent dressing that maintains a moist wound environment. The waterproof outer layer protects the wound from dirt and bacteria. The dressing has a unique self-adhesive wound contact layer - Safetac® technology. The wound contact layer minimises pain for the patient and trauma to the wound and surrounding skin when the dressing is removed. Mepilex Border Flex consists of:

  • a wound contact layer made of soft, adhesive silicone (Safetac) and a carrier film
  • a flexible absorption pad consisting of three layers: a foam, a non-woven distribution layer and a layer of highly absorbent fibres the dressing is partially perforated with Flex-Cut technology
  • a breathable and waterproof outer film that provides a barrier against external contamination

Areas of application

  • Mepilex Border Flex is suitable for the treatment of a wide range of exuding wounds, including leg, foot or pressure ulcers, traumatic wounds (e.g. skin tears) and surgical wounds. Mepilex Border Flex is also suitable for dry/necrotic wounds in combination with gels.
  • Mepilex Border Flex reduces post-operative tension blisters and can also be used as part of a prophylactic therapy to prevent skin damage, e.g. pressure ulcers.


Dosage form
  • Wound dressing
  • Size: 7.5 x 7.5 cm
  • Wound pad size: 4.5 x 4.5 cm

Application
Mepilex Border Flex can also be used by non-professionals under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Choose a suitable dressing shape and size.

  1. If necessary, select a dressing shape optimised for the specific anatomical area. 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.
  2. For use on wounds: Clean the wound according to clinical standards. Dry the skin surrounding the wound thoroughly.
  3. Remove the first protective film and place the adhesive side on the wound.
  4. Remove the remaining protective film and smooth the adhesive edge onto the skin. Do not overstretch the dressing. Mepilex Border Flex can remain on the wound for up to 7 days depending on the condition of the wound and surrounding skin and clinical practice.

For use on wounds:

  • Mepilex Border Flex can also be used under compression.
  • As Mepilex Border Flex 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.

When used for prevention:

  • The area at risk of pressure ulcers or tissue damage should be checked regularly in accordance with clinical practice.
