Mepilex Border Ag Silver Foam Dressing
Mepilex Border Ag Silver Foam Dressing
Molnlycke
395200
Mepilex Border Ag is an antimicrobial all-in-one 5 layer foam dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The antimicrobial action reduces bioburden in the wound by inactivating wound relevant pathogens within 30 minutes with a sustained effect for up to 7 days.
How does it work?
The Mepilex Border Ag is impregnated with silver sulphate ions in a compressed foam layer which are activated when coming in contact with exudate. The silver sulphate ions bind to the cell wall proteins causing them to rupture. The silver sulphate ions may also bind to bacterial enzymes and cell DNA, inhibiting them to function normally. The ions will divide throughout the wound fluid until it reaches equilibrium, thus sustaining it's antimicrobial effect in the wound dressing and in the wound.
Reduced pain and damage
All Mepilex Border Ag dressings seek to reduce trauma caused by dressing changes. This is made possible by Molnlycke's proven Safetac® soft silicone wound contact layer. Safetac is the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. Designed to mold softly to skin without sticking to the moist wound – so you can remove it easily without damaging the skin. That means less pain for your patients. Safetac also protects new tissue and intact skin – so wounds remain undisturbed, to support faster natural healing. Plus it seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leaks and maceration.
