Mepilex Border Sacrum Foam Dressing, 22 x 25 Centimeter

Molnlycke Mepilex Border Sacrum Foam Dressing, 22 x 25 cm

The Molnlycke Mepilex Border Sacrum is an all-in-one, five-layer foam dressing shaped specifically for the sacral area, making it an ideal choice for both the prevention and management of sacral pressure ulcers and wounds. It's designed for patients at risk of skin breakdown—those with limited mobility, prolonged bed rest, or existing sacral wounds—as well as the caregivers and clinicians who care for them. Built around Molnlycke's Deep Defense Technology, this dressing targets the very forces that cause pressure injuries.

The anatomically contoured design conforms securely to the sacrum, while the five-layer construction works to absorb and retain exudate, cushion the skin, and manage moisture. Its Deep Defense Technology protects against the extrinsic forces of pressure, shear, and friction and helps manage microclimate at the skin surface. Meanwhile, the gentle Safetac adhesive layer allows the dressing to be lifted and repositioned during skin inspections, reduces the risk of maceration, and minimizes pain and skin trauma during dressing changes.

This dressing is available in multiple purchasing options—choose a single dressing, a box of 10, or a case of 40 to suit your needs. Featuring excellent fluid-handling capacity and retention, it is a proven part of a comprehensive pressure ulcer prevention protocol, shown to help prevent pressure ulcers by up to 88%. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible. Please select your preferred size and quantity option below.
