Mepilex® Border HEEL Absorbent Foam Dressing

Mepilex^® Border Heel dressing is the only five-layer foam heel dressing with proprietary Deep Defense Technology^TM – 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 moderate- to high-exuding wounds on the heel. It effectively absorbs and retains exudate and it balances moisture properly avoiding the risk of maceration .

This recently-launched enhanced design includes new handling tabs and thicker borders, allowing easier application and patient checking. The heel shape has been refined for good coverage of the high-risk heel area and the malleoli.

The enhanced design still includes Safetac^® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. So the dressing moulds softly to skin without sticking to the moist wound – you can remove it easily without damaging the skin. That means less pain for your patients.
