The Safetac layer seals the wound edges, preventing the exudate toleak onto the surrounding skin, thus minimising the risk for maceration. TheSafetac layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging thewound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain.Intended useMepilex Border is designed for a wide range of exuding woundssuch as pressure ulcers, leg and foot ulcers and traumatic wounds e.g skintears and surgical wounds. Mepilex Border can also be used on dry/necroticwounds in combination with gels.Frequency of changeMepilex Border may be left in place for up to 7 daysdepending on the wound condition, or as indicated by accepted clinicalpractice.Directions for Use: Gently cleanse the wound; dry surrounding skin. Choose a size that will allow the dressing to overlap the wound area by at least 2 cm. Remove the release film. Apply dressing with the adherent side to the wound. Do not stretch. When used on an extremity, position Mepilex® slightly below the center of the wound to avoid leakage caused by gravitation. Fixate Mepilex® with Mepitac® tape, Mefix® fabric tape,a compression bandage, or other secondary fixation product such as Tubifast®.PrecautionsIn case of signs of clinical infection, consult a healthcare professional for adequate infection treatment. Do not use Mepilex Bordertogether with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite solutions or hydrogenperoxide.
