Silicone foam dressing for ulcers Mepilex Border Sacrum

Mepilex Border Sacrum all-in-one dressing is the only foam dressing made of five layers with the special Deep Defense technology - proven to prevent pressure ulcers when used alongside other standard prevention protocols. The dressing can also be used to manage moderate to severe wounds in the sacral area. It absorbs and retains exudate and properly balances moisture to avoid the risk of maceration. This recently launched improved design includes new processing overlays and thicker borders, allowing for ease of use and patient inspection. When used for pressure ulcer prevention, the contoured shape has been enhanced to achieve good coverage of the high-risk sacral area - and features an improved Alove seal to provide maximum protection. The improved design still includes the original Svedtak contact layer, which is painless and adheres with silicone. Therefore, the dressing is comfortable and conforms to patient anatomy - it can be removed easily without damaging the skin. This means less pain for patients. Mepilex features Svedtak technology with the following features: a wide range of acute and chronic wounds such as venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and painful wounds. It absorbs both acute and chronic wounds with low/light levels of exudate. It removes with minimal risk of trauma to the wound or surrounding skin. Highly compatible and remains intact. Provides a gentle yet secure adhesion with perforated silicone gel adhesive. It sticks securely to dry, healthy skin. It seals the wound edges to help prevent exudate leakage onto surrounding tissues, reducing the risk of maceration. A well-ventilated outer layer is moisture and bacteria resistant. An internal layer of absorbent water-based foam. The dressing can be lifted and repositioned without losing its adhesive properties. Maintains a moist environment for wounds to help promote better healing. The silicone adhesive is designed to stick to the surrounding skin but not to the wound bed, reducing pain and the risk of damage to the wound area. Not made from natural latex rubber.
