The effective antimicrobial Bordered foam dressing With Safetac® technology
How Mepilex® Border Ag works
Mepilex Border Ag is an antimicrobial all-in-one foam
dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and
maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac layer
seals the wound edges, which prevents the exudate from
leaking onto the surrounding skin and minimizes the risk
of maceration. The Safetac layer ensures that the dressing
can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding
skin or exposing the patient to additional pain.
Mepilex Border Ag inactivates wound related pathogens
within 30 minutes with sustained effect up to 7 days.
By reducing the number of microorganisms,
Mepilex Border Ag may also reduce odor.
