Mepilex Lite Wound Dressing 284000 6cm x 8.5cm Single
Free Delivery on Healthylife orders over $50*
Mepilex Border Flex Lite is a thin absorbent foam dressing designed for the management of a wide range of non- to moderately exuding wounds, such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, and traumatic wounds e.g., abrasions, blisters, and skin tears. Mepilex Border Flex Lite can also be used as protection of compromised and/or fragile skin.
This is a wound dressing with Safetac silicone adhesive. The Safetac technology has been clinically demonstrated to minimise damage to the wound and skin during removal, assisting in minimised pain during dressing change.
Designed to stay on and uniquely conform with its innovative 360° Flex Technology that allows the dressing to confirm in every direction, reducing skin stress, increasing comfort, and keeping the dressing in-situ. The conformability is up to 4X better than Mepilex Border Lite.
The smart exudate management for the Mepilex Border Flex Lite dressing means the unique 4-layer dressing absorbs and channels exudate away from the wound bed, allowing you to track exudate progress without disturbing the wound.
Mepilex Border Flex Lite provides an optimal balance of exudate absorption and moisture vapour loss, maximising exudate management for or non to moderately exuding wounds.
Benefits:
- Minimises pain and trauma at dressing changes.
- Stays in place allowing for 'hands-free' to facilitate application of compression or retention bandages.
- Promotes patient comfort; thin and very comfortable to wear.
- Can be left in place during radiotherapy using commonly applied energy ranges and absorbed doses.
- May be used for preventing skin damage under medical devices.
- Well suited to be used under compression bandages.
- Can be cut to suit various wound shapes and difficult-to-dress locations.
- Can remain in place for several days depending on the condition of the wound, or as indicated by accepted clinical practice.
- Can be lifted and adjusted without losing its adherent properties.
- Low potential for skin irritation and allergy.
Mepilex Lite can be used for:
- Non- to low exuding wounds
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Leg ulcers
- Radiation skin reactions
- Epidermolysis Bullosa
Follow instructions on pack or as directed by your healthcare professional.

4. Remove the first release film and apply the adherent side to the wound.
5. Remove the remaining release film and smooth down the dressing on the skin. Do not stretch the dressing.
6. When necessary, fixate the dressing with a bandage or other fixation.
