Mepilex Border Ag

Self-adherent antimicrobial soft silicone foam dressing

  • {{ feature }}

  3. Mepilex Border Ag consists of a Safetac® soft silicone wound contact layer, an absorbent polyurethane foam pad containing silver sulphate and coloured by activated carbon, a layer with super absorbent fibres, a nonwoven and a breathable and water proof film. Safetac® is a proprietary adhesive technology developed by Mölnlycke that minimises pain to patients and trauma to intact skin or wounds. Mepilex Border Ag is a soft silicone foam dressing that absorbs exudate, maintains a moist wound healing environment and has antimicrobial properties. Mepilex Border Ag contains silver sulphate to create an effective bacterial barrier and inactivate a wide range of wound related pathogens (bacteria and fungi), as shown in vitro. By reducing the number of microorganisms, Mepilex Border Ag may also reduce odour. Mepilex Border Ag has been shown to inactivate wound related pathogens up to 7 days in vitro.

    1. 01

      Fast (as from 30 min, in vitro), sustained (up to 7 days, in vitro) and broad range antimicrobial action (in vitro)

    2. 02

      Efficient exudate handling by minimising leakage and a high absorption, retention and MVTR. This could help support a reduced number of dressing changes
