Mepilex® Border Lite is a thin all-in-one foam dressing for low-exuding wounds. You can use it for chronic wounds and acute healing wounds such as traumatic wounds.
The low-profile design is conformable 1 2, making it a suitable wound dressing for difficult-to-dress areas such as the feet. Patients can wear it in the shower 3.
The design includes Safetac® which is clinically demonstrated to minimise damage to the wound and skin at removal 4 5 . By sealing the wound margins, dressings with Safetac help prevent maceration 6. With less damage to the wound and skin, pain at dressing change is minimised 4 5.
- Thin and conformable to dress wounds on feet and toes, hands and fingers 1 2
- Dressings with Safetac minimise pain and damage at dressing changes 4 – 6
