Key Features of Mepilex Border Dressings
Description Mepilex Border is an absorbent, atraumatic
self-adhesive island dressing with a perforated soft silicone wound contact layer.
The absorbent core of the dressing consists of three components, a thin sheet
of polyurethane foam, a piece of nonwoven fabric and a layer of superabsorbent
polyacrylate fibres. The core is located centrally upon a larger piece of polyurethane
film and is held in place by the perforated silicone adhesive layer that extends
to the outer margins of the dressing. This gentle adhesion also tends to prevent
maceration by inhibiting the lateral movement of exudate from the wound on to
the surrounding skin. The silicone layer does not adhere to the surface of a wound
and therefore the dressing may be removed without causing pain or trauma. |
