Mepilex Border Lite is a thin, lightweight self-adherent foam dressing from Mölnlycke designed for wounds with low to moderate exudate. Its slim profile makes it particularly well suited for hard-to-dress body contours such as feet, toes, hands, and fingers — areas where a standard-thickness foam dressing may be too bulky or difficult to conform.

Like all Mepilex Border products, Border Lite features Safetac silicone adhesive along the border, which seals wound edges to minimize maceration risk and allows the dressing to be lifted, repositioned, or removed without causing pain or damaging the wound bed or surrounding skin. The dressing is showerproof with a waterproof, bacteria-proof film backing. It can be worn for up to 7 days depending on wound condition and may be used under compression bandages.

Mepilex Border Lite is available in 5 sizes: 4 cm × 5 cm, 5 cm × 12.5 cm, 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm, 10 cm × 10 cm, and 15 cm × 15 cm. The smallest size (4 cm × 5 cm) is designed for fingertip and toe wounds, while the rectangular 5 cm × 12.5 cm fits longer, narrow wound areas. All sizes are sold in boxes of sterile dressings.

If your wound produces moderate to high exudate, a thicker dressing like Mepilex Border Flex will provide greater absorption capacity. For wounds requiring antimicrobial silver protection, see Mepilex Border Ag Dressings. For post-surgical incision care, see Mepilex Border Post-Op Dressings. For sacrum or heel pressure injuries, see Mepilex Border Sacrum & Heel Dressings.

Mepilex Border Lite Dressings FAQ

What makes Mepilex Border Lite different from Mepilex Border Flex?
Mepilex Border Lite is thinner and lighter than Border Flex, making it better suited for wounds with low to moderate exudate. Its slim profile conforms easily to challenging body contours like hands, feet, and fingers. Border Flex is thicker with greater absorption capacity, designed for moderate to highly exuding wounds. Choose Lite when bulk and weight need to be minimal.
What sizes are available in Mepilex Border Lite?
Mepilex Border Lite is available in five sizes: 4 cm × 5 cm, 5 cm × 12.5 cm, 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm, 10 cm × 10 cm, and 15 cm × 15 cm. The 4 cm × 5 cm is designed for fingertip and toe wounds, and the 5 cm × 12.5 cm rectangular shape fits longer, narrow areas. All sizes are sold in boxes of sterile dressings.
Can Mepilex Border Lite be used on feet, toes, and fingers?
Yes. Mepilex Border Lite's thin, conformable design makes it especially suitable for hard-to-dress areas like feet, toes, hands, and fingers. The smaller sizes — 4 cm × 5 cm and 5 cm × 12.5 cm — are specifically designed for these areas where a standard-thickness dressing may be too bulky to fit comfortably.
How long can Mepilex Border Lite be worn?
Mepilex Border Lite can be worn for up to 7 days, depending on the wound condition and level of exudate. The dressing is showerproof with a waterproof film backing. It should be changed before the dressing becomes fully saturated or as directed by your clinician.
Can Mepilex Border Lite be used under compression bandages?
Yes. Mepilex Border Lite can be used under compression bandages and wraps. Its thin profile makes it particularly compatible with compression therapy, as it adds minimal bulk beneath the bandage while still providing effective exudate management and wound protection.
