Mepilex Border Heel (22cm x 23cm)

Product Description :

Mepilex Border Heel (22cm x 23cm) by Molnlycke is a self-adherent soft silicone multi-layer foam dressing specially designed for the foot and heel wounds.

Mepilex Border Heel is a self-adherent, absorbent heel-shaped dressing to be used as part of a prophylactic therapy to prevent pressure ulcers and minimise the risk of maceration. For wound treatment it maintains a moist wound environment. The waterproof outer layer protects from dirt and bacteria. The dressing has a Safetac® wound contact layer that is a proprietary adhesive technology developed by Mölnlycke that minimises pain to patients and trauma to intact skin or wounds at dressing removal.

Moreover, Mepilex Border Heel all-in-one dressing is the only five-layer foam heel dressing with proprietary Deep Defense® Technology – proven to prevent pressure ulcers when used in conjunction with other standard prevention protocols.

This heel dressing design makes optimal healing conditions for managing moderate to high exuding wounds of the heel area. It has a good fluid handling capacity and retention.

This recently-launched enhanced design includes new handling tabs and thicker borders allowing easier application and patient checking. When used for pressure ulcer prevention or damage caused by shear and friction, the heel shape has been refined so you can achieve good coverage of the high-risk heel area and and the malleoli.

Mepilex Border Heel Dressing (22cm x 23cm) has a 189cm2/29.3sq in. pad.

Indications for use :

Mepilex Border Heel is designed to be part of a prophylactic therapy to prevent skin damage by minimising and redistributing shear, redistributing pressure, reducing friction and maintaining an optimal microclimate.
