Antimicrobial, absorbent all-in-one foam dressing with Safetac technology
•Minimizes pain and trauma associated with dressing change
•Provides rapid, broad spectrum antimicrobial efficacy and sustained silver activity
•Advanced fluid handling for optimal exudate management
How Mepilex Border Ag works
Mepilex Border Ag is an antimicrobial all-in-one foam dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac layer seals the wound edges, preventing leakage of exudate onto the surrounding skin, thus minimizing the risk for maceration. Safetac technology also minimizes trauma to the wound and pain to the patient. Mepilex Border Ag offers all the advantages of Mepilex Border in conjunction with optimal antimicrobial efficacy and odour control. Mepilex Border Ag inactivates wound related pathogens within 30 minutes of application and maintains release action for up to 7 days. Its antimicrobial properties are effective against a wide range of organisms including MRSA, VRE, and Pseudomonas.
Benefits of Mepilex Border Ag
•No secondary fixation required
•Can remain in place for up to 7 days depending on wound condition and exudate level

Indications for use
Mepilex Border Ag is ideal for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, malignant wounds, partial thickness burns, traumatic and surgical wounds.
