Mepilex Border Flex All-in-one dressing that stays on and uniquely conforms

Mepilex® Border Flex is an all-in-one wound dressing with Proprietary Flex Technology designed to improve conformability and stay-in-place performance, even during motion. This innovative dressing manages exudate containing bacteria, trapping it more effectively. It is suitable for a wide range of exuding chronic and acute wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, skin tears, and traumatic wounds.

The Proprietary Flex Technology allows the dressing to stretch in 360 degrees due to patent-pending Y-cuts in the retention and spreading layers. This design ensures the dressing conforms to the body, even in difficult-to-dress locations, and stays securely in place for longer periods compared to other dressings.

With over 40% more superabsorbent fibres than Mepilex® Border, the retention layer effectively handles both normal and viscous exudate, locking fluid away to ensure continued effective performance. Fluid handling capacity tests show that Mepilex Border Flex outperforms other all-in-one dressings by up to 125%.
