WOUND CARE

Mepilex Border is an all-in-one foam dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac layer seals the wound edges, preventing the exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, thus minimizing the risk for maceration. The Safetac layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain.

Areas of use
Exuding and difficult-to-dress wounds, As a protective layer on non-exuding wounds, Large areas with fragile skin, Under compression.

Absorbancy: Moderate to Heavy

Wear Time: Up to 7 Days

Mepilex Transfer is thin and conformable for even the most difficult to dress wounds. The  Safetac soft silicone layer ensures direct contact to the wound and the surrounding skin, even on uneven surfaces. As the  Safetac layer seals around the wound, the foam structure of Mepilex Transfer allows the exudate to move vertically into a secondary absorbent pad. Mepilex Transfer maintains a moist wound environment in combination with an appropriate secondary dressing.

Areas of use
As a protective layer on non-exuding wounds, Leg and foot ulcers, Pressure ulcers, Traumatic wounds (e.g., skin tears and secondary healing wounds), Blisters and abrasions, Secondary healing wounds. Exuding and difficult-to-dress wounds. Large areas with fragile skin. Under compression

Mepitel is a soft silicone contact layer that protects the fragile skin around the wound bed and allows exudate and topical ointments to pass through.  Mepitel can be left in place for up to 14 days depending on the condition of the wound which reduces the necessity for frequent primary dressing changes. The porous structure of Mepitel allows exudate to pass into an outer absorbent dressing. The Safetac layer prevents the outer dressing from sticking to the wound and ensures atraumatic dressing changes. The Safetac layer also seals around the wound edges, preventing the exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, thus minimises the risk of maceration.

Areas of use
Exuding wounds, Leg and foot ulcers, Pressure ulcers, Malignant wounds, Partial thickness burns, Traumatic wounds, Surgical incisions, Infected wounds.

Transparent Mepitel One is an exciting new development in the quest to minimise interruptions to healing. An innovative one-sided Safetac wound contact layer, Mepitel One lets you give the healing process the time it needs as it can be left in place for up to 14 days–avoiding the need for dressing removal can help minimise patient pain and unnecessary disturbance to the healing process. Mepitel One offers high transparency allowing you to instantly assess healing progress without removing the contact layer.  Impressively conformable, Mepitel ensures an excellent fit and maximum patient comfort whilst its effective open mesh design enables free transfer of exudate to the secondary dressing and delivery of topical treatments to the wound bed. Mepitel One is convenient to work with even while wearing gloves. It adheres quickly, gently and securely – saving time and minimizing patient discomfort. The Safetac layer prevents the outer dressing from sticking to the wound and ensures atraumatic dressing changes. The Safetac layer seals around the wound edges, preventing the exudate to leak onto the surrounding skin, thus minimises the risk of maceration.

Melgisorb Ag is a calcium alginate dressing capable of absorbing large amounts of exudate, 18 times its own weight. When absorbing, the alginate fibers form a soft moist gel, giving a moist environment conductive to wound healing. The gel also blocks lateral wicking of exudate thereby reducing maceration. The soft moist gel does not adhere to the wound site, thereby reducing trauma and pain during wear and dressing change. The gel can easily be removed by irrigating with normal saline.  The silver in Melgisorb Ag is active for up to 7 days, providing a natural and effective means of fighting infection.

Areas of use
Skin tears and abrasions, Surgical incisions, Second degree burns, Blistering, Lacerations, Parital and full thickness grafts, Diabetic ulcers, Venous and arterial ulcers, Pressure ulcers, Epidermolysis Bullosa.
