Mepilex Border Flex

Mepilex® Border Flex with proprietary Flex Technology is an all-in-one wound dressing that offers improved conformability and stays in place, even during movement. It effectively manages exudate containing bacteria by trapping it more efficiently. It is designed to treat a wide range of exuding chronic and acute wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, skin tears, and traumatic wounds.

Proprietary Flex Technology enables 360-degree stretch, thanks to patent-pending Y-cuts in its retention and spreading layers. This allows the dressing to conform to the body, even in difficult-to-dress areas, and stay in place longer compared to other dressings.

With over 40% more superabsorbent fibers than Mepilex® Border, the retention layer manages both normal and viscous exudate while locking fluid away so the dressing continues to perform effectively. Fluid handling capacity tests show that Mepilex® Border Flex outperforms other all-in-one dressings by up to 125%.

The highly breathable backing film features the Exudate Progress Monitor – a dot pattern that allows you to easily track and record fluid as it spreads, without disturbing the wound. These dot counts can be recorded and shared between nurse visits or shifts, potentially reducing unnecessary dressing changes.

Overall, the five-layer construction is designed to absorb, channel, and trap exudate containing bacteria away from the wound bed, preventing re-entry, even under compression.
