Description
Mepilex Border Comfort Lite is composed of the following layers:
- Silicone wound contact layer: Safetac® technology for gentle adhesion and atraumatic removal.
- Absorbent foam pad: Soft polyurethane foam that effectively manages exudate.
- Retention layer: Ensures fluid is locked in, keeping it away from the wound bed.
- Polyurethane backing film: Provides a barrier against external contaminants, while maintaining breathability.
Indications for Use: Mepilex Border Comfort Lite is indicated for use on low to moderately exuding wounds, including:
- Pressure ulcers
- Venous leg ulcers
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Traumatic wounds (e.g., skin tears and abrasions)
- Post-operative surgical wounds
It can also be used as a protective dressing on compromised or fragile skin.
Application & Dosage:
- Adults and Elderly: Apply to the wound area, ensuring that the absorbent pad covers the wound bed with at least a 2 cm overlap onto the surrounding healthy skin. Change the dressing as required based on wound condition and exudate levels, typically every 3 to 7 days.
- Children and Infants: Mepilex Border Comfort Lite is suitable for children but should only be applied under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
How to Use:
- Cleanse the wound thoroughly and dry the surrounding skin.
- Remove the release film and apply the dressing with the foam side to the wound.
- Smooth out the dressing gently for secure adhesion.
- To remove, lift the dressing from the edge, peeling carefully to avoid damage to the surrounding skin.
Side Effects: Mepilex Border Comfort Lite is generally well tolerated. However, in rare cases, users may experience:
- Skin irritation or maceration
- Sensitivity reactions at the application site
Discontinue use if severe irritation or allergic reactions occur and consult a healthcare professional.
Warnings & Precautions:
- For external use only.
- Do not use on patients with known sensitivity to silicone or any other components of the dressing.
- Avoid using Mepilex Border Comfort Lite on dry or necrotic wounds.
- Ensure that the dressing does not overlap into areas with high tension or continuous movement, as this may reduce adhesion.
- If signs of infection are present, such as increased redness, swelling, or exudate, seek medical advice immediately.
