The Border range includes 5 specialized types to match different wound needs. Border Flex offers 360-degree flexibility for moderate to high exudate wounds on contoured body areas. Border Ag adds silver antimicrobial protection for infected or at-risk wounds. Border Flex Lite is a thinner option with 360° Flex technology for low exudate wounds — replacing the discontinued Border Lite. Border Post-Op is optimized for surgical incisions with a transparent border for skin monitoring. Border Sacrum & Heel dressings are anatomically shaped for pressure injury prevention and treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions ▾
What makes Mepilex Border dressings self-adherent?
All Mepilex Border dressings have a Safetac silicone adhesive border that adheres gently to intact skin without sticking to the moist wound bed. This means no tape, bandage, or compression wrap is needed to hold the dressing in place. The dressing can be lifted for wound inspection and reapplied without losing adhesion.
Which Mepilex Border type should I choose?
Choose Border Flex for general moderate to high exudate wounds. Choose Border Ag when the wound is infected or at risk of infection. Choose Border Flex Lite for low exudate wounds or hard-to-dress areas like fingers and toes. Choose Border Post-Op for surgical incisions. Choose Border Sacrum & Heel for pressure injuries on the sacrum or heels. Consult your healthcare provider if you are unsure.
How long can Mepilex Border dressings be worn?
Mepilex Border dressings can generally be worn for up to 7 days, depending on the wound condition and level of exudate. All Border dressings are waterproof and showerproof, so they do not need to be changed after bathing. Change the dressing before it becomes fully saturated or as directed by your clinician.
Can Mepilex Border dressings be used under compression?
Yes. All Mepilex Border dressings can be used under compression bandages and wraps. The dressings maintain their absorbency and adhesive properties under compression, making them suitable for venous leg ulcer management and other conditions requiring compression therapy.
Do you ship Mepilex Border dressings outside Canada?
No. All Mepilex Border dressings ship within Canada only. Orders over $150 qualify for free shipping.
