Description
The Mepilex Border Heel dressing is the only five-layer foam dressing for the heel with Deep Defense Technology, when used with other standard prevention protocols, it has been proven to prevent the development of pressure ulcers (1),(2),(3),(4),(5 ).
The complete bandage design also creates an optimal healing environment for the treatment of moderate to heavily exuding wounds in the heel area. The dressing absorbs the exudate and effectively retains it (6),(7). It also provides adequate fluid balance, preventing the risk of maceration (8),(9).
This new improved design includes new tabs and thicker edges, allowing for faster application and patient assessment. The heel shape has been optimized to provide good coverage of the heel and ankle area, which is at particular risk.
The optimized design also features Safetac, the original silicone adhesive layer, which minimizes pain during dressing changes. The bandage lies gently on the skin without sticking to the moist wound (8). You can easily remove the bandage without damaging the skin (10), (11). This makes changing the dressing less painful for your patients (12).
Prophylaxis:
Mepilex Border Heel is an all-in-one foam dressing that is specially adapted to the shape of the heel and covers the areas around the heel, the Achilles tendon and both Protects ankles. When used prophylactically*, the bandage protects the skin from damage caused by pressure, shear forces and friction (2). The Safetac coating protects the skin by holding the dressing in the optimal position and reducing friction and shear forces at the contact surface between the skin and the dressing (2). The Safetac coating allows the dressing to be reapplied after checking the skin.
Therapy/Treatment:
When used therapeutically, Mepilex Border Heel ensures effective absorption and retention of exudate (3) and maintains a moist wound environment . The Safetac coating
seals the edges of the wound, prevents exudate from escaping onto the skin surrounding the wound and thus minimizes the risk of maceration (4). The Safetac coating also allows the dressing to be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin (5) or exposing the patient to additional pain (6).
Advantages:
- Proven to help prevent pressure ulcers when used in combination with other standard prevention protocols (1),(2)
- The company's Deep Defense Technology provides protection against external forces - pressure, shear and friction - and ensures an optimal microclimate, the most important factors associated with their creation of pressure sores (3),(4).(10),(11)

- Especially for the heel< br> - For effective management of exudate and wound environment
- In the treatment of exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, heel ulcers, traumatic wounds and other secondary healing wounds
- Proven to contribute to pressure ulcer prevention
- Prophylactic Use in high-risk patients (2), e.g. B. in bedridden patients, patients with poor skin circulation and impaired skin condition, in emergency rooms, in intensive care units or before and during long surgical procedures
Prepare the area:
Clean intact and surrounding skin and dry thoroughly. Ensure skin is free of dimethicone, sealants and lotions. The use of a skin barrier under the dressing is not necessary.
After preparing the skin/wound, dry the area thoroughly. Then remove the middle protective film and place the bandage under the heel and in the desired position.
Apply the area of ​​the bandage marked “A” (see picture above) to the back of the heel/Achilles tendon so that the narrowest part of the bandage is Bandage is at the bottom of the heel. Do not stretch the bandage.
Remove the protective film from one of the wings of area “A” (ankle wing). Apply and smooth the wing. Repeat this on the other side. Do not stretch the bandage.
Apply the area of ​​the bandage marked “B” (see image above) to the sole of the foot. Do not stretch the bandage
Remove the protective film from one of the wings of area “B” (wings with grip tabs). Apply the wing and smooth the edge. Repeat this on the other side. Do not stretch the bandage.
Press and smooth the bandage to ensure it is in full contact with the skin.
Tips:
Note: “A” for “Achilles” as a guide for proper application of the bandage.< br> Apply the bandage to clean, dry skin.
Do not stretch the bandage during application.
For ambulatory patients, put on a non-slip sock, this also improves adhesion.
The use of Tubifast or similar tubular bandages Consider for additional stabilization in restless patients. The bandage is deliberately designed to be gentle on the skin
Skin inspection in pressure ulcer prevention:
Carefully pull on the handle tabs to remove the bandage from the skin.
Use the handle tabs to further loosen the bandage from the skin, until the skin is exposed for inspection.
Maintain the dressing position at the proximal edge of “A” (see illustration) and assess the skin.
Reapply the wound pad and the edge of the dressing. Make sure the flaps are resting on the ankle wings.
Check that the bandage has been reapplied in the original position, making sure the edge is intact and lying flat.
Press and smooth the bandage to ensure full skin contact.
Re-tighten the non-slip sock if necessary, especially for mobile patients.
Prophylactic use of wound dressings is not a substitute for a comprehensive pressure ulcer prevention protocol.
In clinical If there are signs of infection, the use of Mepilex Border Heel can be continued provided adequate infection treatment is initiated.
Do not use the bandage if dry, intact scab is present.
