Do not use Mepilex® Border Ag together with oxidising agents, such as hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide.Do not use Mepilex® Border Ag during radiation treatment or examinations, e.g.Do not use on patients with a known sensitivity to silver.Breathable, shower-proof, bacteria and viral barrier.Low potential for skin irritation and allergy.May be adjusted without losing its adherent properties.May be cut to suit various wound shapes and difficult-to-dress locations.Minimises pain and trauma at dressing changes.Sustained antimicrobial effect for up to 7 days.Effective and sustained release of silver provides rapid antimicrobial effect within 30 minutes.Safetac also protects new tissue and intact skin – so wounds remain undisturbed, to support faster natural healing. Plus it seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leaks and maceration. Designed to mold softly to skin without sticking to the moist wound – so you can remove it easily without damaging the skin. That means less pain for your patients. Safetac is the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. This is made possible by Molnlycke's proven Safetac® soft silicone wound contact layer. The ions will divide throughout the wound fluid until it reaches equilibrium, thus sustaining it's antimicrobial effect in the wound dressing and in the wound.Īll Mepilex Ag dressings seek to reduce trauma caused by dressing changes. The silver sulphate ions may also bind to bacterial enzymes and cell DNA, inhibiting them to function normally. The silver sulphate ions bind to the cell wall proteins causing them to rupture. The Mepilex Ag is impregnated with silver sulphate ions in a polyurethane foam layer which are activated when coming in contact with exudate. Mepilex Ag is a soft and highly conformable anti microbial foam dressing that absorbs low to moderate exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The antimicrobial action reduces bioburden in the wound by inactivating wound relevant pathogens within 30 minutes with a sustained effect for up to 7 days. ANTI EMBOLISM COMPRESSION DVT STOCKINGS.Finally the highly breathable yet showerproof backing film enables longer wear time as well as protects the wound by stopping bacteria and viruses*. As the exudate reaches retention layer with superabsorbents its being effectively managed and retained which reduces the risk of leakage and maceration. Then the nonwoven spreading layer spreads exudate over a wide surface area within the retention layer. First the absorbent foam pad absorbs exudate and prevents it from returning to the wound, protecting the periwound skin. Mepilex Border can handle more exudate than other compared silicone foam dressings because of its unique material construction. Safetac interface also minimises damaging the wound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain at dressing changes. The design includes a Safetac ® interface which seals the wound edges, preventing the exudate to leak onto the surrounding skin, thus minimising the risk for maceration. Mepilex Border is also clinically proven to help prevent pressure ulcers when used in conjunction with standard pressure ulcer prevention measures. The dressing is designed for a wide range of wounds such as pressure ulcers, leg and foot ulcers and traumatic wounds. Mepilex ® Border is a versatile five-layer all-in-one bordered foam dressing available in a large range of shapes and sizes.
