Mepilex Border Heel 22cm x 23cm (B6)

Description

Mepilex^® Border Heel dressing is the only five-layer foam heel dressing with proprietary Deep Defense Technology^® – 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.

• Proven to prevent pressure ulcers – when used with other standard prevention protocols 
• Proprietary Deep Defense Technology* protects against the extrinsic forces – pressure, shear and friction; and manages micro-climate, the key factors responsible for pressure ulcers 
• Mepilex Border with Safetac technology minimises pain during dressing changes.
• Excellent fluid-handling capacity and retention   
• Reduces risk of maceration
