Mepilex Border AG Wound Dressing 395200 7.5cm x 7.5cm Single
Mepilex Border Ag is an antimicrobial absorbent self-adherent foam wound dressing. This all-in-one dressing delivers a rapid and sustained antimicrobial action to reduce bioburden in the wound. The multipurpose design means you can use it for medium to high exuding chronic and acute wounds, such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, malignant wounds, partial thickness burns, traumatic and surgical wounds.
Mepilex Border Ag can inactivate wound relevant pathogens (bacteria and fungi) within 3 hours. An international consensus states that an antimicrobial action is indicated to help reduce bioburden in infected wounds. And acts as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection.
The Mepilex Border Ag design includes Safetac - the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. That means less pain for your patients during dressing changes.
Benefits of Mepilex Border Ag foam dressing:
- Less painful dressing changes.
- Rapid and sustained antimicrobial activity.
- Retains a high-volume of fluid for effective exuding-wound management.
- All-in-one silver foam dressing.
- Can remain in place for up to 7 days depending on wound condition and exudate level.
- Maintains a moist wound environment.
- For pressure ulcers and other chronic and acute wounds.
Mepilex Border Ag can be used on:
- Moderate to heavily exuding wounds
- Infected wounds

- Pressure injuries
- Malignant wounds
- Surgical incision

Mepilex Border Ag is indicated for the management of medium to high exuding wounds such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, malignant wounds, partial thickness burns, traumatic and surgical wounds where a moist environment, exudate handling, gentle fixation and an antimicrobial action is indicated.
