Mepilex Border Flex EM Silicone Self-Fixing Hydrocellular Dressing

What is Mepilex Border Flex EM Self-Fixing Silicone Hydrocellular Dressing?

Introducing a self-fixing silicone-coated hydrocellular dressing that protects, absorbs and soothes delicate wounds while maintaining an optimal moist wound environment for fast, comfortable healing. Mepilex Border Flex EM Self-Fixing Siliconized Hydrocellular Dressing creates a stable environment that supports fragile tissue and limits the risk of irritation, tightness or unnecessary pain during daily care. You benefit from an easy-to-live-with dressing, designed to make life easier for patients and caregivers alike, even when the areas to be protected remain mobile and sensitive.

It uses advanced technology to minimize pain on removal and preserve the integrity of periwound skin. Its soft silicone layer, based on Safetac technology, adheres gently, prevents skin tearing and supports atraumatic removal. This feature provides real comfort for people with thin, fragile or irritation-prone skin. The dressing fits perfectly into modern wound management, where comfort, pain prevention and skin protection guide every therapeutic decision.

The dressing effectively absorbs light to moderate exudates, helping to keep skin dry and prevent maceration. Its core of foam and microperforated non-woven fleece captures moisture, manages liquid diffusion and provides lasting protection for the injured area. This property improves the dressing 's hold on a daily basis and reduces the risk of leakage, particularly useful for wounds in difficult areas or subject to mechanical friction. Mepilex Border Flex EM Silicone Self-Fixing Hydrocellular Dressing meets the needs of many chronic and acute wounds requiring gentle, intelligent exudate management.

You also benefit from an impermeable outer film that enhances protection against impurities and bacteria. This microbial barrier helps to reduce the risk of contamination and supports a sterile environment conducive to the healing process. By protecting the wound from external moisture and environmental aggression, this film optimizes dressing longevity, limits handling and enhances patient safety throughout treatment.

Mepilex Border Flex EM Self-Fixing Siliconized Hydrocellular Dressing is suitable for a wide range of indications: leg ulcers, foot ulcers, pressure sores, post-operative wounds, dermabrasions, skin tears or phlyctenes. You're using a versatile, reliable and comfortable device to support the healing of non-exuding to moderately exuding wounds, even when the areas require reinforced protective care or mechanical protection against rubbing, microtrauma or the stresses of daily mobility.

Thanks to its thin, flexible profile, this dressing follows the body's movements as closely as possible, without coming unstuck or interfering with daily activities. This flexibility optimizes comfort, promotes therapeutic adhesion and offers a fluid experience, even in difficult anatomical areas. Its self-tightening capability simplifies application and retention, making it easy for individuals to adopt under the supervision of a healthcare professional, while meeting the requirements of caregivers.

In short, this dressing protects, insulates, relieves, absorbs, stabilizes and preserves fragile tissue with a modern, safe and skin-friendly approach. You benefit from versatile, ergonomic and comfortable care that supports healing and simplifies everyday life. To reinforce your skincare routine, you can combine this device with a gentle antiseptic cleanser that effectively prepares the skin before each renewal.

How do I use Mepilex Border Pansement?

First, clean the wound according to current protocol, then carefully dry the periwound skin to ensure optimum adhesion. Select a suitable size: the compress should extend 1 to 2 cm beyond the wound area to protect the surrounding skin. Remove the first protective sheet, gently apply the adhesive side to the wound, then remove the remaining sheets without stretching the dressing. Smooth the surface to ensure even fixation. You can leave the dressing in place for several days, depending on clinical condition, changing it before saturation or at the first signs of leakage. You can combine it with a compression bandage or gels according to professional recommendations.
