Five-layer foam dressing for pressure ulcer prevention and treatment of heel wounds
The Mepilex® Border Heel Dressing is the only five-layer foam heel dressing with proprietary Deep Defense Technology® that has been proven to prevent pressure ulcers when used in conjunction with other standard prevention protocols.
This all-in-one dressing design also creates an optimal healing environment for managing medium to high exudate wounds on the heel. It effectively absorbs and retains exudate and balances moisture properly, avoiding the risk of maceration.
It effectively absorbs and retains exudate and balances moisture properly, avoiding the risk of maceration. The heel shape has been refined for good coverage of the high risk heel area and malleolus.
The improved design still includes Safetac®, the original less painful contact layer with silicone adhesion. So the dressing molds softly to the skin without sticking to the moist wound – you can easily remove it without damaging the skin. This means less pain for your patients.
