The SC395490-Box Mepilex Border Ag Antimicrobial Foam Dressing With Silver 6 X 6 is a sterile, single-use wound care solution designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds at risk of infection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the role of silver in Mepilex Border Ag?

Silver provides antimicrobial action, helping reduce bioburden in infected or at-risk wounds. It supports a cleaner wound environment without harming surrounding tissue, making it effective for chronic or stalled healing wounds with signs of microbial presence.

Does Mepilex Border Ag stick to the wound itself?

No, it uses Safetac technology to adhere only to the surrounding skin, not the wound bed. This minimizes pain and tissue damage during removal, which is especially beneficial for fragile or newly granulating wounds.

How often should the dressing be changed?

Typically every 3 to 7 days, depending on wound condition and exudate levels. It can remain in place longer than gauze dressings, reducing disruption to the healing process unless clinically indicated otherwise.

Is this dressing suitable for diabetic foot ulcers?

Yes, it's ideal for diabetic foot ulcers with moderate exudate and infection risk. The antimicrobial silver and gentle adhesion help protect compromised skin and support consistent wound management in diabetic patients.

Can Mepilex Border Ag be used on sensitive skin?

Yes, the Safetac silicone adhesive is designed for fragile or sensitive skin. It reduces shear and trauma during removal, making it a preferred choice for elderly patients or those with thin, damaged periwound tissue.
