Description
Mepilex® Border Ag is an all-in-one antimicrobial foam dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac® technology layer seals the wound edges, which prevents the exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin and minimizes the risk of maceration. 1 The Safetac technology layer allows that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain. 2
Mepilex Border Ag starts to inactivate wound related pathogens within 30 minutes with sustained effect up to 7 days. 3 By reducing the number of microorganisms, Mepilex Border Ag may also reduce odor.
