How Mepilex Border Flex works
Mepilex Border Flex is an extra-flexible and conformable all-in-one foam dressing. It’s designed for high fluid handling capacity and can handle a wide range of normal and viscous fluid. The Flex technology enables 360° stretch, to mirror body movements, distribute the load force evenly and avoid premature detachment. The flexibility and fluid handling characteristics combine to enable the dressing to stay on for longer.

Safetac technology seals the wound edges, preventing exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, to minimize the risk of maceration. Safetac also ensures that the dressing can be changed with less risk of damaging the wound or surrounding skin, or exposing the patient to additional pain.

Areas of use
You can use Mepilex Border Flex to treat a wide range of
exuding chronic and acute wounds – such as pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers and traumatic wounds.  The dressing is designed to handle a wide range of normal and viscous fluid. It’s well-suited to be used under compression.
Note
In case of clinical signs of infection the use of Mepilex Border Flex may be continued if proper infection treatment is initiated.
