Mepilex Border Heel (22cm x 23cm) (282710)

Mepilex Border Heel Self-Adherent Soft Silicone Multi-Layer Foam Dressing is a contoured dressing used for both prevention and treatment of pressure injuries, particularly in the heel area. 

It is ideal for managing a wide range of moderately to highly exuding wounds, including pressure ulcers, foot ulcers, leg ulcers, traumatic wounds (e.g., skin tears), surgical wounds, and even dry or necrotic wounds when used with gels.

Its design helps reduce the risk of skin damage such as postoperative blistering and supports wound healing by maintaining a moist environment. It has Safetac technology, a soft silicone adhesive layer that gently adheres to the skin without sticking to the moist wound bed. 

It ensures minimal pain during dressing changes and helps prevent trauma to the wound and surrounding skin. Its multi-layer absorbent pad efficiently manages exudate, minimizing the risk of maceration. 

Its outer film is waterproof and breathable, offering effective protection against bacteria and external contaminants while allowing moisture vapor to escape. It is designed to conform to the contours of the heel, offering secure fit and targeted protection. 

It can be used as part of a prophylactic therapy to help prevent pressure ulcers in at-risk patients. This dressing has shown impressive outcomes in pressure injury prevention, making it a reliable choice for advanced wound care.
