Mepilex^® Border Ag silver foam dressing delivers a rapid (within 3 hours) and sustained (up to 7 days) antimicrobial action*      . Mepilex Border Ag is designed for the management of medium to high exuding leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, malignant wounds, partial thickness burns, traumatic and surgical wounds where a moist environment, exudate handling, gentle ixation and an antimicrobial action is indicated.

Mepilex Border Ag can inactivate wound relevant pathogens (bacteria and fungi) within 3 hours, as shown in vitro and acts as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection       . An international consensus states that an antimicrobial action is indicated to help reduce bioburden in infected wounds  .

The Mepilex Border Ag design includes Safetac ® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. That means less pain for your patients during dressing changes        .

• Minimises pain at dressing changes         
• Rapid (within 3 hours) and sustained (up to 7 days) antimicrobial action*          
• Good exudate management, even under compression
