Description
Four layered, multilayered absorbent dressing in polyurethane foam, with border, Safetac soft silicone contact layer and slotted structure with Flex Technology.
1) Outer film in highly breathable and liquid-impermeable polyurethane. Provides a barrier to bacteria. The new dotted grid on the external film allows you to trace the distribution of exudate without removing the dressing.
2) Distribution layer in non-woven fabric cracked thanks to the use of Flex Technology. Distributes exudate evenly over the entire surface to maximize fluid handling capacity.
3) Layer of open cell polyurethane absorbent foam for vertical absorption It instantly absorbs exudate and prevents its return, for protection of the periwound skin even under elastic compression.
4) Safetac soft silicone wound contact layer. The soft silicone technology, Safetac applied to Mölnlycke dressings, minimizes pain to patients and trauma to the wound even in critical situations, or when the exudate begins to dry:
- adapts to the uneven surface of the skin to create a larger contact area, which allows for better distribution of the force necessary for removal, preventing skin stripping;
- leaves no residue on the wound bed or on healthy skin;
- seals the margins of the lesion, preventing the exudate from spreading on the periwound skin, minimizing the risk of maceration;
- does not adhere to moist surfaces, such as open wounds but to the dry edges of the wound.
Mepilex Border Flex Lite is suitable for the management of a wide range of non-exuding to moderately exuding wounds such as:
- pressure ulcers;
- leg ulcers;
- post-operative injuries;
- trauma injuries, such as abrasions, blisters and skin tears;
- can also be used to protect injured and/or delicate skin.
Product features:
1. Proven Safetac technology minimizes removal trauma, protects periwound skin, thus preventing maceration.
2. Proprietary Flex Technology ensures excellent conformability, the dressing is able to extend 360° to accommodate body movements and prevent the dressing from coming off.
3. It can be left in situ for several days depending on the state of the wound and the periwound skin.
4. It can be removed and repositioned without losing its micro-adherence characteristics.
5. Maintains a snug fit even in the shower.
6. With less wound and skin damage, minimizes pain at dressing change.
7. Can also be used as part of prophylactic therapy to help prevent skin damage, e.g. pressure ulcers.
8. Proprietary protective film, divided into 3 parts for the largest size, for a precise and safe application, saving time and reducing waste.
