Molnlycke Mepilex Border Sacrum Ag

Mepilex® Border Sacrum Ag is an all-in-one antimicrobial foam dressing designed for medium-to-high exuding pressure ulcers located in the area of the sacrum, or other wounds in the sacral area, such as surgical excision of pilonidal cysts, and where an antimicrobial action is indicated. According to a recent international consensus, antimicrobial action is indicated to help reduce bioburden in infected wounds and to act as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection. Infected wounds are painful wounds that need the best of treatment. Mepilex Border Sacrum Ag is a dressing with a Safetac® layer, and is therefore proven to minimize pain and skin damage at dressing changes. Mepilex Border Sacrum Ag provides an antimicrobial activity, as it contains a silver compound.

1. Gently cleanse the wound; dry surrounding skin. Choose a dressing size that will allow the adherent border to overlap the wound area by at least 2cm. Remove the release film.

7 days depending on drainage and wound condition.
