The absorbent core handles moderate-to-high exudate while the waterproof backing permits showering. Indicated for pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, skin tears, surgical wounds, and donor sites, with wear time up to seven days.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMepilex Border Flex is a multi-layer all-in-one bordered foam dressing engineered for exuding chronic and acute wounds. The perforated Safetac wound contact layer uses soft-silicone adhesive technology that seals the wound margin to minimise maceration, minimises pain at dressing change, and reduces trauma to fragile periwound skin, consistent with the International Wound Infection Institute (IWII) and European Wound Management Association (EWMA) position on atraumatic dressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five-layer construction (silicone wound contact, absorbent polyurethane foam, retention layer with superabsorbent fibres, vapour-permeable backing, adhesive bordered film) channels and locks exudate away from the wound bed, supporting moisture balance under the TIME framework for wound-bed preparation. Flex Technology cut patterns allow the dressing to conform to anatomical contours such as the sacrum, heel, elbow, and knee without buckling, maintaining adhesion even under compression therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"6\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMölnlycke Health Care AB, Gothenburg, Sweden\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eModel \/ REF\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMepilex Border Flex 12.5 x 12.5 cm (REF 595300)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-layer: Safetac silicone contact layer, absorbent PU foam, superabsorbent retention layer, spreading layer, vapour-permeable adhesive backing film\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eOuter Dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.5 cm x 12.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003ePad \/ Absorbent Area\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCentral absorbent pad optimised for moderate-to-high exudate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eWear Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 7 days depending on wound condition and exudate volume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eSterility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterile (ethylene oxide)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eLatex Content\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatex-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eRegulatory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE marked (EU MDR 2017\/745), FDA 510(k) cleared, HSA Singapore medical device listing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003ePackaging\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndividually sealed sterile pouch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClinical Indications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCategory\/Stage II-IV pressure injuries (NPIAP 2019 classification) with moderate-to-high exudate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiabetic foot ulcers (IWGDF Grade 1-2) under offloading and multidisciplinary care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVenous leg ulcers as primary contact layer beneath multi-component compression bandaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin tears (ISTAP Category 1-3) requiring atraumatic adhesion and peri-wound protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurgical wounds healing by secondary intention and donor-site management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraumatic wounds, abrasions, and partial-thickness burns after initial debridement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What distinguishes Mepilex Border Flex from Mepilex Border and Mepilex Border Lite?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Border Flex incorporates the Flex Technology cut pattern for superior conformability on joints and contoured anatomy, with enhanced superabsorbent capacity for higher-exudate wounds. Border Lite targets low-exudate wounds, and the original Border is for moderate exudate on flatter anatomical sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can this dressing remain in place during showering?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. The vapour-permeable outer film is waterproof and bacteria-resistant, supporting patient activities of daily living. Full immersion (bathing, swimming) is not recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Mepilex Border Flex suitable under compression bandaging for venous leg ulcers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. Safetac seals the edges to minimise strike-through under compression, supporting full interface pressure delivery. This aligns with the SIGN 120 and NICE NG63 guidance on primary dressings under compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How is the correct dressing size selected?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Select a dressing that overlaps intact peri-wound skin by at least 1-2 cm on all sides to optimise adhesion and absorbent capacity. For a wound \u0026lt;8 x 8 cm, the 12.5 x 12.5 cm dressing is typically appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this product registered for sale in Singapore?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes.
