Molnlycke Mepilex Border AG Self-Adherent Antimicrobial Soft Silicone Foam Dressing

Self-Adherent Antimicrobial Soft Silicone Foam Dressing is indicated for the management of exuding wounds such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, traumatic and surgical wounds, superficial and partial thickness burns. Mepilex Border Ag can also be used under compression bandaging. Silver sulfate present in the dressing helps reduce microbial colonization of it. Mepilex Border Ag is a soft silicone foam dressing that absorbs exudate, maintains a moist wound healing environment and has antimicrobial properties. Mepilex Border Ag has been shown to inactivate wound-related pathogens up to 7 days in vitro. Mepilex Border Ag consists of a Safetac® soft silicone wound contact layer, an absorbent polyurethane foam pad containing silver sulfate and colored by activated carbon, a layer with super-absorbent polyacrylate fibers, and a non-woven, breathable, waterproof film. Safetac® is a proprietary adhesive technology developed by Mölnlycke that minimizes pain to patients and trauma to intact skin or wounds.

The Mepilex Border Ag Self-Adherent Antimicrobial Soft Silicone Foam Dressing is designed for managing wounds at risk of infection. It combines soft silicone technology with an absorbent foam pad containing silver sulphate. The dressing absorbs wound fluid and supports a moist wound healing environment. Its antimicrobial properties help inactivate a broad range of wound-related bacteria and fungi.

Advanced Safetac Soft Silicone Technology

Mepilex Border Ag features Safetac soft silicone wound contact technology. This proprietary adhesive technology gently adheres to surrounding skin. It minimizes trauma to the wound and surrounding tissue during dressing changes. The soft silicone contact layer also helps reduce discomfort during removal.

Its self-adherent design provides secure fixation without requiring additional adhesive tape. The flexible construction helps the dressing conform to different body areas. This supports comfortable positioning during wound management.

Silver-Based Antimicrobial Protection

The absorbent foam pad contains silver sulphate and activated carbon. When exposed to wound fluid, silver sulphate releases silver ions. These ions help create an antimicrobial barrier against wound-related microorganisms. Manufacturer testing demonstrates activity against a broad range of bacteria and fungi in vitro.

The antimicrobial properties may also help reduce wound-related odour. The dressing is designed for wounds that are infected or at risk of infection. It should be used under qualified healthcare professional supervision.
