Mepilex® Border Sacrum features proprietary Deep Defense® technology, providing an optimal balance of strength and flexibility. Each of the unique five layers serves a specific purpose in pressure ulcer prevention, adding to the dressing's strength, durability and absorbency. No other dressing on the market exhibits these same properties – or the published, peer-reviewed results – in pressure ulcer prevention. When used for management of wounds, Mepilex Border Sacrum effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment for optimal healing. The Safetac technology layer seals the wound edges, preventing exudate leakage onto the surrounding skin which minimizes the risk of maceration. The Safetac technology layer allows the dressing to be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin, or exposing the patient to additional pain.
