Low potential for skin irritation and allergy.May be lifted and adjusted without losing its adherent properties.May remain in place for several days depending on the condition of the wound.Self-adherent - no secondary fixation required.Minimizes pain and trauma at dressing changes.Molnlycke Mepilex Border Ag Wound Dressing Features: Mepilex Border Ag is designed for medium to high exuding wounds such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, partial thickness burns, traumatic and surgical wounds, where a moist environment, exudate management, gentle fixation and antimicrobial action is indicated. By reducing the number of microorganisms, Mepilex Border Ag may also reduce odor. Mepilex Border Ag inactivates wound related pathogens within 30 minutes with sustained effect up to 7 days. The Safetac layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain. The Safetac layer seals the wound edges, which prevents the exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin and minimizes the risk of maceration. Finally, in small clinical and case studies, Mepilex Ag has been shown to control wound bioburden and improve healing rates.Molnlycke Mepilex Border Ag Antimicrobial Foam Dressing Molnlycke Mepilex Border Ag Wound Dressing is an antimicrobial all-in-one foam dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. In combination with silver, this technology has been shown in in-vitro studies to have an almost instant and sustainable antimicrobial effect on a broad range of pathogens associated with delayed healing. A review of the clinical evidence relating to Safetac technology clearly demonstrates that it can be used to prevent dressing-related trauma, minimize pain at dressing change, and control exudate when used on a wide range of wound types and skin injuries. In this respect the control and treatment of pain is as important as the treatment of infection itself. This dual approach to the management of wounds is of significance since the evidence suggests that wound infection and the release of pro-inflammatory modulators result in both local pain and delayed healing. The combined attributes of each component of this dressing allow both the control of pain and infection to be achieved simultaneously. This article examines the role of a unique dressing-Mepilex Ag-that incorporates the rapid and sustained antimicrobial action of ionic silver with the benefits of Safetac soft silicone adhesive technology. ![]()
