Description
Introducing the Mepilex Border Flex Lite
Mepilex Border Flex Lite is a flexible, all-in-one foam dressing suitable for non-to-moderately exuding wounds, as well as when a wound is located on a challenging contour. The addition of Flex Technology in the spreading layer means Mepilex Border Flex Lite is 4x more conformable than its precedent, Mepilex Border Lite.
- Flex Technology allows Mepilex Border Flex Lite to move in every direction, reducing skin stress, increasing comfort and keeping it in place.
- The unique four-layer dressing absorbs and channels exudate away from the wound bed, and allows you to track progress without disturbing the wound.
- Molnlycke’s proven Safetac Technology means less pain and trauma to the skin during dressing changes and less maceration compared to traditional (adhesive) dressings.
Areas of Use
For the management of non-to-moderately exuding wounds, including:
- Leg and foot ulcers
- Pressure injuries
- Surgical and traumatic wounds such as abrasions, blisters and skin tears
- May be used for protection of compromised and/or fragile skin
