Mepilex® Border Sacrum effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment4. By sealing the wound edges, the Safetac® layer prevents the exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin. This minimizes the risk of maceration5. The Safetac® layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding areas. This technology also avoids exposing the patient to additional pain.
Mepilex® Border Sacrum can add to your prevention programs for hospital acquired pressure ulcers. The dressing has been shown to help by redistributing shear forces, reducing friction, redistributing pressure, and balancing the microclimate. The retention, spreading and absorption layers help in maintaining an optimal moisture level and reducing the risk of breakdowns. These layers are also critical in dissipating shear and redistributing pressure. Safetac®technology resides closest to the skin. For pressure ulcer prevention, its elasticity dissipates shear forces and allows for repositioning of the dressing after skin assessment.
