The Mepilex Border Ag 10 x 20 cm (Ref: 395800) is an advanced, all-in-one antimicrobial foam dressing engineered for the effective management of infected wounds or those at high risk of infection. Specifically designed for larger wound areas, this dressing combines a powerful silver sulfate compound with a multi-layered absorbent structure. It is the go-to solution for patients and healthcare providers in India looking for a dressing that not only handles high levels of fluid (exudate) but also actively fights bacteria, including common hospital-acquired pathogens.

At the heart of Mepilex Border Ag is the patented Safetac® technology. This soft silicone adhesive layer ensures that the dressing adheres gently to the skin surrounding the wound without sticking to the moist wound bed itself. This significantly reduces the pain and skin trauma often associated with dressing changes, making it particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive or fragile skin. The dressing’s unique five-layer construction efficiently traps fluid, preventing it from leaking back onto the healthy skin, which helps reduce the risk of skin breakdown and infection spread.

Rapid Antimicrobial Action: Begins killing 99.9% of bacteria within 3 hours and continues to provide protection for up to 7 days.
Painless Dressing Changes: Safetac® technology ensures minimal pain during removal and protects the surrounding skin from damage.
Superior Fluid Management: Effectively absorbs and retains wound discharge, keeping the wound at an optimal moisture level for healing.
Waterproof & Breathable: The moisture-vapor permeable film allows for showering while acting as a barrier against external contaminants and bacteria.
Comfortable Fit: Highly conformable to body contours, ensuring it stays in place even on mobile areas.

Cleanse: Gently clean the wound with saline or a prescribed wound cleanser. Pat the surrounding skin completely dry.
Select & Apply: Remove the dressing from the sterile packaging. Peel away the release film to expose the adhesive side.
Position: Place the dressing over the wound, ensuring the absorbent pad covers the entire wound area with at least a 2 cm margin on the surrounding skin.
Seal: Smooth the adhesive borders firmly against the skin to ensure a secure seal. Do not stretch the dressing during application.
Monitor: The dressing can remain in place for several days. Change it when the pad is saturated or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Sensitivity: Do not use on patients with a known allergy to silver or silicone.
MRI Compatibility: This dressing contains silver; it must be removed before patients undergo MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or radiation therapy.
Clinical Infection: While the silver helps manage bacteria, if you notice increased swelling, fever, or spreading redness, consult a doctor immediately.
External Use Only: For external wound care only. Do not use in conjunction with oxidizing agents like hydrogen peroxide.
Storage: Store in a dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
