Mepilex Border Sacrum 22 X 25 cm, bx 5 PCS

The Mepilex Border Sacrum complete dressing is the only sacral foam dressing with five layers and proprietary Deep Defence ® Technology - proven to prevent pressure ulcer formation when used with other standard prevention protocols.

The dressing can also be used to treat moderate to heavily exuding wounds in the sacral area. It absorbs and retains exudate and provides adequate fluid equalisation, preventing maceration.

This improved design includes new tabs and thicker edges which allow for faster application and patient assessment. The sacral shape has been improved, particularly for pressure ulcer prevention, so that you can achieve good coverage of the high-risk sacral area - the improved sealing of the gluteal cleft also ensures maximum protection.
Proven to help prevent pressure ulcers - by up to 88% - when used in combination with other standard prevention protocols
Proprietary Deep Defence technology provides protection against external forces - pressure, shear and friction - and ensures an optimal microclimate, the most important factors associated with pressure ulcer development
Mepilex Border with Safetac technology minimises pain during dressing changes

Good fluid absorption and retention
Reduced risk of maceration

The optimised design also features Safetac - the original contact layer with silicone adhesion that minimises pain when changing the dressing. The dressing is therefore comfortable and moulds to the patient's anatomy - you can easily remove it without damaging the skin. This makes changing the dressing less painful for the patient.
