Our next generation of flexible dressings are designed to stay on and uniquely conform; giving time back to nurses, cost savings back to managers and quality of life back to patients.

Smart exudate management

The unique 4 layer dressing absorbs and channels exudate away from the wound bed and allows you to track exudate progress without disturbing the wound ^{2  3} . The construction of Mepilex® Border Flex Lite provides an optimal balance of exudate absorption and moisture vapour loss, maximising exudate management for or non- to low exuding wounds ⁴ .

Safetac^® technology. Less damage. Less pain.

In numerous randomised trials, dressings with Safetac^® are clinically demonstrated to minimise damage to the wound and skin at removal ^{5  6  7  8  9  10  11} . With less damage to the wound and skin, pain at dressing change is minimised ^{5 -  8  12} 

- Innovative 360° Flex Technology allows Mepilex^® Border Flex Lite to move in every direction, reducing skin stress, increasing comfort and keeping it in place ¹ 

- Up to 4 times better conformability than Mepilex® Border Lite  ¹ 

Exudate Progress Monitor lets you objectively track and record exudate, potentially avoiding excess dressing changes ⁴

The Mepilex Border Flex Lite is a versatile, thin, and flexible foam dressing designed for comfort and effective wound management. Built with Flex Technology, it conforms seamlessly to body contours and stays securely in place, even on challenging or mobile areas. Its lightweight design makes it ideal for patients with sensitive skin or for wounds requiring a less bulky dressing.

Featuring Safetac® soft silicone technology, the dressing adheres gently to the skin without causing trauma or pain during removal, while sealing wound edges to minimize the risk of maceration. The absorbent foam core helps maintain a moist healing environment, supporting faster and more effective wound recovery.

Perfect for use on low- to moderately exuding wounds, such as surgical wounds, skin tears, and pressure injuries, the Mepilex Border Flex Lite combines comfort, protection, and reliability in a discreet dressing.
