How Mepilex Works

Mepilex minimizes both trauma to the wound and pain to the patient during dressing changes. The Safetac layer prevents Mepilex from sticking to the moist wound bed yet it adheres gently to the surrounding skin. The gentle adhesion frees both hands for easy application of secondary fixation. Mepilex absorbs effectively and ensures a low risk of maceration.

Benefits of Mepilex Border Sacrum

• Uniquely designed for sacral wounds
• Does not adhere to moist wound bed but adhere gently to dry tissue
• Atraumatic to the wound and surrounding skin on removal
• Maintains a moist wound environment
• Minimizes the risk of maceration
• Designed for ease of use and patient comfort
• Moisture and bacteria proof

Safetac Technology

Safetac technology is less painful because it:

1) tacks gently to dry surfaces, like skin, but not to moist surfaces, such as open wounds

2) molds to the skin’s pores, covering more skin surface and spreading peel forces on removal to prevent skin stripping

3) seals the wound margins, ensuring exudate does not spread to the surrounding skin and minimizing maceration

Safetac technology’s soft silicone molds to the skin’s uneven surface pores, while other adherents simply stick to the tops on the skin’s surface.

This molding action is the secret to why Safetac technology is so effective at minimizing pain and preventing maceration.

MetroMedicalOnline offers high quality Pacifica Exam Gloves to be worn while cleaning the wound and changing dressings.

Many of our customers have reported excellent results using Puracyn Skin and Wound Cleanser OTC (formerly Microcyn OTC). Puracyn OTC is an innovative new approach to wound care promoting faster healing time. It is a non-irritating, pH-balanced wound cleanser for minor cuts, burns, irritations, and superficial abrasions of the skin.

After the wound has closed, proven scar treatments such as Cica-Care, Mepiform, or Kelo-Cote will improve the appearance of scars and prevent abnormal or excessive scar formation. Always consult your physician or wound care specialist before starting any wound care treatment program.
