What is Mepilex Border Sacrum Foam Dressing

Mepilex Border Sacrum Foam Dressing is a type of wound dressing designed specifically for wounds on the sacral area, which is the lower back region just above the tailbone. It typically incorporates foam material with adhesive borders for secure application and features properties to promote wound healing and prevent infections.

It effectively absorbs and retains exudate, maintaining a moist wound environment. The dressing is waterproof, shaped to fit the sacral area, and features a Safetac layer that seals the wound edges to prevent leakage onto the surrounding skin, reducing the risk of maceration. It can be used for medium-to-high exuding sacral wounds, such as pressure ulcers or surgical excision of pilonidal cysts. The dressing comes in different sizes, including 16x20 cm and 22x25 cm or 8.7 x 9.8 inches and 6.3 x 7.9 inches, offering options for various wound sizes and shapes.
