It is indicated for low-to-highly exuding chronic and acute wounds, including pressure injuries, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and surgical wounds, with a wear time of up to seven days depending on wound status.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMepilex Border Flex is an all-in-one bordered foam dressing engineered around Mölnlycke's Safetac technology, a soft silicone adhesive layer that conforms to the wound bed without channelling exudate laterally. The five-layer construction combines a perforated silicone interface, an absorbent foam pad, a superabsorbent retention layer, a spreading layer and a vapour-permeable bacterial-barrier backing film to support moist wound healing while reducing peri-wound maceration and trauma at dressing change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Flex\" cut-pattern provides 360° conformability across joints and anatomically complex areas (sacrum, heel, elbow). In clinical evaluations, Safetac-based foam dressings have been associated with reduced pain at removal and reduced peri-wound skin stripping when compared with conventional adhesive foam dressings, consistent with EWMA (European Wound Management Association) position statements on atraumatic dressing change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"8\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMölnlycke Health Care AB (Sweden)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMepilex Border Flex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference (15 x 15 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e595400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePad Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 x 10 cm absorbent core within 15 x 15 cm total dressing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-layer (Safetac silicone, foam absorbent, superabsorbent retention, spreading layer, vapour-permeable backing)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdhesive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafetac soft silicone, atraumatic removal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExudate Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow to high\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWear Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 7 days depending on wound and peri-wound condition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSterility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterile, single-use, ethylene oxide sterilised\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatex Content\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatex-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegulatory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE Mark under EU Medical Device Regulation 2017\/745; FDA 510(k) cleared; HSA Singapore registered medical device; ISO 13485 quality-managed manufacturing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndividually wrapped sterile dressing; typically supplied 5 per carton\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 II to IV pressure injuries on heel, sacrum and other high-risk anatomical sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVenous leg ulcers as the primary contact dressing beneath multi-layer compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiabetic foot ulcers (plantar, dorsal, toe) with low-to-moderate exudate, per IWGDF guidance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-surgical wounds closed by primary intention with moderate exudate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin tears (ISTAP Type 1 and 2) where atraumatic removal is critical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDonor sites and partial-thickness burns under clinician supervision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose a silicone-bordered foam over a standard adhesive foam dressing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSafetac silicone adhesive minimises peri-wound epidermal stripping and is associated with reduced pain at removal in randomised clinical trials.
