The dressing can also be used for managing moderate- to high- exuding wounds of the sacral area. It absorbs and retains exudate 6 7 and it balances moisture properly avoiding the risk of maceration 6 8 . This recently-launched enhanced design includes new handling tabs and thicker borders allowing easier application and patient checking. When used for pressure ulcer prevention, the sacral shape has been refined so you can achieve good coverage of the high-risk sacral area – and it features an improved gluteal seal for maximum protection 9 . The enhanced design still includes Safetac® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. So the dressing is comfortable and conforms to the patients anatomy 10 4 – you can remove it easily without damaging the skin 11 . That means less pain for your patients 11 . Proven to prevent pressure ulcers – by up to 88% – when used with other standard prevention protocols 1 2 3 Proprietary Deep Defense Technology protects against the extrinsic forces - pressure, shear and friction; and manages micro-climate, the key factors responsible for pressure ulcers 12 4 Mepilex® Border with Safetac technology minimises pain during dressing changes 13 Good fluid handling capacity and retention 6 Reduces risk of maceration 8 For information tailored to your market, please click on the the button below.
