Mepilex^® Border Sacrum all-in-one dressing is the only five-layer foam sacral dressing with proprietary Deep Defense Technology^® – proven to prevent pressure ulcers when used in conjunction with other standard prevention protocols  ^{1   2   3   4   5} .

The dressing can also be used for managing moderate- to high- exuding wounds of the sacral area. It absorbs and retains exudate  ^{6   7}   and it balances moisture properly avoiding the risk of maceration  ^{6   8}  .

This recently-launched enhanced design includes new handling tabs and thicker borders allowing easier application and patient checking. When used for pressure ulcer prevention, the sacral shape has been refined so you can achieve good coverage of the high-risk sacral area – and it features an improved gluteal seal for maximum protection  ⁹ .

The enhanced design still includes Safetac^® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. So the dressing is comfortable and conforms to the patients anatomy  ^{11   4}  – you can remove it easily without damaging the skin  ¹⁰. That means less pain for your patients  ¹⁰.
