Product Overview

Mepilex Border Flex Oval 13x16cm is an advanced all-in-one foam dressing engineered by Molnlycke, designed to provide superior conformability and gentle wound care.

Utilizing innovative Flex Technology, this dressing adapts seamlessly to body contours, ensuring comfort and freedom of movement for the patient.

The renowned Safetac technology minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes, protecting the wound bed and periwound skin from damage.

This oval-shaped dressing is highly absorbent, effectively managing a wide range of exuding wounds while maintaining an optimal moist healing environment.

It offers reliable shower-proof protection, allowing patients to maintain hygiene without compromising wound integrity.

Each box contains 5 sterile dressings, making it a convenient solution for ongoing wound management.

Key Benefits

• Superior Conformability: Features Flex Technology that allows the dressing to flex and adapt to challenging body contours, providing enhanced comfort and reduced risk of detachment.

• Gentle Adhesion with Safetac: Minimizes pain and trauma during removal, protecting the wound and surrounding skin, thus supporting undisturbed wound healing.

• Effective Exudate Management: Highly absorbent foam layer effectively manages moderate to high exudate levels, reducing the risk of maceration and promoting a balanced moist wound environment.

• Shower-Proof Design: Provides a barrier against water, allowing patients to shower without the need for additional protection or dressing changes, enhancing daily living.

• All-in-One Solution: Integrates absorbent foam, gentle adhesive, and a breathable film, simplifying wound care and reducing the need for secondary fixations.

• Reduces Pressure: Designed to redistribute pressure, contributing to patient comfort and potentially aiding in pressure injury prevention.

How to Use

1. Clean the wound thoroughly according to clinical practice and dry the surrounding skin.

2. Select a dressing size that covers the wound bed and extends onto the surrounding skin by at least 1-2 cm.

3. Remove the protective films from the adhesive side of the dressing.

4. Apply the adhesive side to the wound, ensuring gentle contact with the skin without stretching the dressing.

5. Smooth the dressing firmly over the wound and surrounding skin to ensure proper adhesion.

6. The dressing change frequency depends on the wound condition, exudate level, and clinical assessment, typically every few days up to 7 days.
