Mepilex Border Ag

All-in-one antimicrobial foam dressing for medium to high exuding wounds

Mepilex^® Border Ag is an all-in-one antimicrobial foam dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac^® technology layer seals the wound edges, which prevents the exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin and minimizes the risk of maceration. ¹  The Safetac technology layer allows that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain. ² 

Mepilex Border Ag starts to inactivate wound related pathogens within 30 minutes with sustained effect up to 7 days. ³  By reducing the number of microorganisms, Mepilex Border Ag may also reduce odor.

• Minimizes pain and trauma at dressing change ² 
• Effective, sustained release of silver ⁴ 
• Self-adherent - no secondary fixation required
• Promotes patient comfort during wear
• Low potential for skin irritation and allergy
• Barrier to outside moisture, viruses and bacteria^†
