How Mepilex Border Sacrum works 

Unlike other dressings, the proprietary Mepilex Border Sacrum is the only dressing with Deep Defense™ technology, providing an optimal balance of strength and flexibility. This not only allows the dressing to provide optimal protection against shear in combination with other extrinsic factors, but also maintain its protective properties even with the absorption of sweat.5 When used for wound management the Mepilex Border Sacrum is designed for a wide range of exuding wounds such as sacral pressure injury. It can be also used on dry/necrotic wounds in combination with gels.

Benefits of Mepilex Border Sacrum 

• Shaped to fit the sacral area 

• Handling tabs for ease of application and removal 

• Absorbs moderate to high amounts of exudate 

• Optimized protection and sealing at gluteal cleft 

• Can be repositioned without losing its adherent properties 

• Moisture proof and bacteria barrier† film backing

Wear time 

Mepilex Border Sacrum may be left in place for several days depending on the condition of the wound and surrounding skin, or as indicated by accepted clinical practice.
