Description
Mepilex Border Heel 22 x 23 cm is a self-adherent foam dressing from Molnlycke engineered specifically for the unique anatomical demands of the heel. Its wrap-around shape and Safetac silicone adhesive technology ensure secure, conforming coverage of this high-risk pressure area, making it an effective tool for both prevention and treatment of heel pressure injuries. The dressing stays in place during repositioning and routine care while allowing atraumatic removal — a meaningful benefit for patients with fragile or compromised skin.
Key Features
- Heel-specific contoured shape wraps the posterior foot for full contact coverage
- Safetac technology adheres to intact skin only, sparing the wound bed from adhesive trauma
- Multi-layer foam core absorbs and retains wound exudate, reducing maceration
- Helps offload and redistribute pressure over the heel surface
- Flexible design accommodates movement and repositioning without lifting at the edges
- Atraumatic removal minimises pain and skin damage — particularly important for diabetic or elderly patients
