Five-layer foam dressing for
pressure ulcer prevention and management of sacral wounds
Mepilex® Border
Sacrum all-in-one dressing is the only five-layer foam sacral dressing with
proprietary Deep Defense Technology® – proven to prevent
pressure ulcers when used in conjunction with other standard prevention
protocols 1 2 3 4 5 .
The
dressing can also be used for managing moderate- to high- exuding wounds of the
sacral area. It absorbs and retains exudate 6 7 and it
balances moisture properly avoiding the risk of maceration 6 8 .
This
recently-launched enhanced design includes new handling tabs and thicker
borders allowing easier application and patient checking. When used for
pressure ulcer prevention, the sacral shape has been refined so you can achieve
good coverage of the high-risk sacral area – and it features an improved
gluteal seal for maximum protection 9 .
The
enhanced design still includes Safetac® – the original
less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. So the dressing is comfortable
and conforms to the patients anatomy 10 4 – you can
remove it easily without damaging the skin 11 . That means
less pain for your patients 11 .
- Proven to prevent pressure
ulcers – by up to 88% – when used with other standard prevention
protocols 1 2 3
- Proprietary Deep Defense
Technology protects against the extrinsic forces - pressure, shear and
friction; and manages micro-climate, the key factors responsible for
pressure ulcers 12 4
- Mepilex® Border
with Safetac technology minimises pain during dressing changes 13
- Good fluid handling capacity
and retention 6
- Reduces risk of maceration 8
