Mepilex Border Ag Antimicrobial all-in-one foam dressing for medium to high exuding wounds

Mepilex® Border Ag: Product Overview

Mepilex® Border Ag is an all-in-one silver foam dressing that provides rapid and sustained antimicrobial action to reduce bioburden in wounds. Its versatile design is suitable for managing medium to high exuding chronic and acute wounds, such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, malignant wounds, partial thickness burns, and traumatic and surgical wounds.

The silver ions in Mepilex Border Ag can inactivate wound-relevant pathogens (including bacteria and fungi) within 3 hours, as shown in laboratory studies. An international consensus recommends antimicrobial action to reduce bioburden in infected wounds and act as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection.

Safetac®, the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion, ensures less pain during dressing changes for your patients.
