Mepilex Border Flex Adhesive with Border Foam Dressing, 6 x 8 Inch

Molnlycke Mepilex Border Flex Adhesive Foam Dressing, 6 x 8 Inch

The Molnlycke Mepilex Border Flex is an all-in-one, self-adherent foam wound dressing designed for a wide range of chronic and acute wounds. Built for people managing pressure injuries, leg and foot ulcers, surgical wounds, and skin tears, this dressing combines an absorbent foam pad with a gentle silicone adhesive border, so you get reliable protection and comfortable wear in a single product. At its core is proprietary Flex technology, which lets the dressing move with your body for a secure, comfortable fit.

The dressing works by absorbing wound fluid into its foam core while its patent-pending Y-cuts in the spreading and retention layers enable 360° stretch. This means the dressing flexes and conforms to challenging body areas like heels, elbows, and joints without lifting or bunching. It effectively manages both normal and viscous exudate, helping maintain a moist wound environment that supports healing while protecting the surrounding skin. The gentle silicone border adheres securely yet removes without disturbing new tissue or causing unnecessary pain.

This 6 x 8 inch dressing is available in multiple purchase options, so you can choose a single dressing, a box of 5, or a case of 50 to match how often you need to change your dressing. Home-medical wound care supplies like this are typically FSA/HSA eligible, making it easier to budget for ongoing care. Select your preferred quantity from the options below to order.
