Mepilex Foam Dressing
Mepilex® Border Sacrum 282055 features proprietary Deep Defense® technology, providing an optimal balance of strength and flexibility. In addition, each of the five individual layers serves a specific purpose in pressure ulcer prevention, adding to the dressing's strength, durability, and absorbency. No other dressing on the market exhibits these same properties – or published, peer-reviewed results – in pressure ulcer prevention.
Mepilex Border dressings are clinically proven to be highly effective in preventing pressure ulcers, supported by more than 80 pieces of evidence. In addition, numerous studies, including one involving over 1.03 million patients, have demonstrated the cost-effectiveness of this product.
Mepilex Foam dressings, incorporating Deep Defense Technology, have been tested to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers by up to 88%, when incorporated as part of an overall protocol. This advanced technology protects from the extrinsic forces of pressure, shear, and friction, while the Safetac technology helps minimize maceration and pain during dressing changes. The Safetac technology layer allows the dressing to be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin. The Mepilex 282055 dressing has remarkable absorbency and provides maximum retention.
When used for management of wounds, Mepilex foam dressing effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. Mölnlycke's Safetac technology layer seals the wound edges, prevents exudate leakage onto the surrounding skin, thus minimizing the risk of maceration.
