Mepilex 395010 Border Ag 12.5 cm x 12.5 cm Box/5

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, preventing leakage of exudate onto the surrounding skin, thus minimizing the risk for maceration. Safetac technology also minimizes trauma to the wound and pain to the patient. Mepilex Border Ag offers all the advantages of Mepilex Border in conjunction with optimal antimicrobial efficacy and odour control. Mepilex Border Ag inactivates wound related pathogens within 30 minutes of application and maintains release action for up to 7 days. Its antimicrobial properties are effective against a wide range of organisms including MRSA, VRE, and Pseudomonas.

Benefits of Mepilex Border Ag

Mepilex Ag is an antimicrobial soft silicone foam dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment.

• No secondary fixation required

• Can remain in place for up to 7 days depending on wound condition and exudate level

• Maintains a moist wound environment

• Low friction coefficient for secure fixation

Indications for use

Mepilex Border Ag is ideal for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, malignant wounds, partial thickness burns, traumatic and surgical wounds. 

Precautions

• Do not use on patients with a known sensitivity to silver.

• Do not use on patients undergoing the following: radiation therapy, X-ray, ultrasound, diathermy or Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

• Do not use in conjunction with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide.

Directions for Use

1. Gently cleanse the wound; dry surrounding skin. Choose a dressing size that will allow the adherent border to overlap the wound area by at least 2cm. Remove the release film.

2. Lay absorbent foam pad over wound area. Gently smooth adherent border in place. Do not stretch. Mepilex Border Ag can remain in place for up to 7 days depending on drainage and wound condition.
