Mepilex Border Silicone Adhesive with Border Silicone Foam Dressing, 16 x 20 cm

Molnlycke Mepilex Border Silicone Foam Dressing, 16 x 20 cm

The Mepilex Border is an all-in-one, self-adherent silicone foam dressing designed for both the prevention and management of pressure ulcers, including hard-to-dress sacral wounds. Its five-layer construction absorbs and retains fluid while protecting fragile skin, making it a trusted choice for patients at risk of pressure injuries as well as those with existing exuding wounds.

At the heart of this dressing is Molnlycke's proprietary Deep Defense Technology, which addresses the key extrinsic forces behind pressure ulcers by protecting against pressure, shear, and friction while managing the skin's microclimate. The gentle Safetac adhesive layer seals around the wound edges to reduce the risk of maceration and, because it removes without sticking to the wound bed, it minimizes pain and skin trauma at every dressing change. When used as part of a comprehensive prevention protocol, Mepilex Border has been proven to help prevent pressure ulcers by up to 88%.

This dressing measures 16 x 20 cm and is available in multiple purchase options, including a single dressing, a box of 10, or a case of 50, so you can order the quantity that fits your needs. With excellent fluid-handling capacity and gentle, secure wear, it supports comfortable healing and skin protection. Many wound care supplies like this may be FSA/HSA eligible—check with your plan administrator. Please select your quantity below.
