Mepilex^® Border Flex with proprietary Flex Technology is an all-in-one wound dressing with improved conformability and stays in place - even in motion! It manages exudate containing bacteria, trapping it in a more effective way. It is designed to treat a wide range of exuding chronic and acute wounds  such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, skin tears, and traumatic wounds.

Proprietary Flex Technology enables 360-degree stretch, thanks to patent-pending Y-cuts in its retention and spreading layers. It conforms to the body – even difficult-to-dress locations – and stays where needed for longer, compared to other dressings    .

With over 40% more superabsorbent fibres than Mepilex^® Border, the retention layer manages both normal and viscous exudate while locking fluid away so the dressing can continue to work . Fluid handling capacity tests prove that Mepilex Border Flex outperforms other all-in-one dressings by as much as 125%  .

The highly breathable backing film features the new Exudate Progress Monitor – a dot pattern that allows you to easily track and record fluid as it spreads, without disturbing the wound . These dot counts can be recorded and shared between nurse visits or shifts, potentially avoiding excess dressing changes.

All combined, the five-layer construction is designed to absorb, channel, and trap exudate containing bacteria away from the wound bed and prevent re-entry, even under compression .
