Mepilex® Border Sacrum is an advanced, five-layer foam dressing engineered for both the prevention and management of sacral pressure injuries in high-risk patients. Incorporating proprietary Deep Defense Technology® and Safetac® technology, the dressing offers robust protection against pressure, shear, and friction while also ensuring patient comfort and skin integrity.
Key advantages include:
-
Deep Defense Technology®: Delivers strength and flexibility, defending against pressure, shear, and friction—the primary forces behind pressure injuries.
-
Safetac® Technology: Features a soft silicone adhesive that seals wound edges to prevent leakage and minimize the risk of maceration. It also allows for painless dressing changes, protecting both wound and surrounding skin.
-
Enhanced Design: Handling tabs and thicker borders make application and patient monitoring easier.
-
Clinical Efficacy: Proven to reduce the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries by up to 88% when used as part of a comprehensive protocol.
-
Optimal Healing Environment: Absorbs and retains exudate, preserving a moist environment essential for healing while reducing maceration risk.
-
Versatility: Suitable for moderate to high-exuding sacral wounds—ideal for pressure ulcers and surgical excisions like pilonidal cysts.
-
Prevention and Treatment: Indicated for pressure injury prevention and management in various clinical settings, particularly for immobile patients and those at high risk.
Mepilex® Border Sacrum is best applied as part of a comprehensive pressure injury prevention protocol and is recommended for use in hospital wards, emergency rooms, intensive care, and before or during extended surgical procedures.
