The Mepilex Border Ag 15 x 15 cm (Ref: 395400) is a high-performance, all-in-one antimicrobial foam dressing designed to manage moderately to highly exuding wounds where infection is a concern. Featuring a square 15 x 15 cm profile, this dressing is a vital tool for healthcare professionals and home caregivers in India managing larger wound areas. By combining advanced fluid handling with a rapid-acting silver sulfate compound, it effectively reduces the bacterial bioburden in the wound while maintaining an optimal environment for natural healing.

This dressing utilizes the globally recognized Safetac® technology, a soft silicone adhesive layer that minimizes pain and skin damage during removal. Unlike traditional adhesives that can strip away healthy skin cells, Mepilex Border Ag adheres gently to the dry surrounding skin but does not stick to the moist wound bed. This ensures that dressing changes are as comfortable as possible for the patient. Its five-layer construction not only absorbs and retains wound fluid (exudate) but also acts as a waterproof and breathable barrier against external contaminants, including bacteria and viruses.

Dual-Action Protection: Provides rapid antimicrobial activity that kills 99.9% of common wound bacteria (including MRSA) within hours.
Pain-Free Changes: Safetac® layer ensures minimal trauma to the wound and surrounding skin, significantly reducing patient discomfort.
Superior Moisture Control: Effectively manages high volumes of fluid to prevent skin maceration (softening/breakdown) around the wound edges.
Shower-Proof Barrier: The waterproof outer film allows patients to maintain daily hygiene without compromising the sterile wound environment.
Cost-Effective: Can be left in place for up to 7 days, reducing the frequency of dressing changes and material waste.

Preparation: Clean the wound area using a sterile saline solution or as directed by your healthcare professional. Thoroughly dry the skin surrounding the wound.
Sizing: Select the 15 x 15 cm dressing, ensuring the absorbent foam pad overlaps the wound margins by at least 2 cm for a secure seal.
Application: Remove the release films and apply the adherent side directly to the wound.
Securing: Gently smooth the adhesive borders onto the skin. Do not stretch the dressing during application to avoid skin tension.
Monitoring: The dressing can remain in place for several days depending on the wound condition and the amount of discharge.
