Mepilex® Border Sacrum Dressing

Shaped for the Tailbone. Designed to Heal and Protect.

The Mepilex Border Sacrum Dressing is an anatomically shaped, 5-layer foam dressing developed specifically for the sacral area — one of the most vulnerable sites for pressure injuries. With Safetac® soft silicone adhesive and Flex Technology, this dressing stays comfortably in place, manages exudate effectively, and reduces pain during dressing changes.

Ideal for both treatment and prevention of pressure injuries in aged care, community, and home care settings.
