Heel healing made easy

16 Sep 2014, by Informa Insights

Dressing the heel is rather awkward and is made difficult by the fragility of the skin in this area.

Mepilex Border Heel is an all-in-one foam dressing shaped to fit the heel that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac layer seals the wound edges, prevents exudate leakage onto the surrounding skin, thus minimising the risk of maceration.

The unique design of Mepilex® Border Heel delivers essential benefits such as:

  • Optimised and less stressful healing which promotes a faster recovery for the patient
  • Unique and efficient absorption structure delivering optimal healing conditions
  • Retention of exudate in the dressing avoids leakage to allow less frequent dressing changes
  • Ease of use and high reliability for your patients to feel safe and secure

This short video will show you how Mepilex® Border Heel works:

Mepilex® Border Heel is developed by Mölnlycke Health Care, who will be exhibiting at the upcoming Reducing Avoidable Pressure Injuries conference, taking place on the 29th and 30th September at the Bayview Eden in Melbourne.

Joining Mölnlycke Health Care at the two-day conference are experts from organisations such as the Clinical Excellence Commission, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, SA Health, Research Centre for Nursing & Midwifery Practice, Canberra Hospital and many more, who will be sharing their knowledge on pressure injury management and prevention.
