Products Details

Mepilex Border Sacrum features proprietary Deep Defense™ technology, providing an optimal balance of strength and flexibility. Each of the unique five layers serves a specific purpose in pressure ulcer prevention, adding to the dressing's strength, durability and absorbency.  ¹   No other dressing on the market exhibits these same properties – or the published, peer-reviewed results – in pressure ulcer prevention.  ²  

Only Mepilex Border dressings have over 80 evidence pieces to support their effectiveness in preventing pressure ulcers.  ²    The cost effectiveness of Mepilex Border Sacrum is supported by several clinical studies, including real-world health economic evidence showing a $77 reduction in per patient treatment costs in a cohort of 1.03m patients.  ³
