Deep Defense
The proprietary Mepilex Border is the only dressing with Deep Defense technology, providing durable protection against the extrinsic factors responsible for pressure ulcers throughout is wear time.
Mepilex® Border construction is unique
Unlike other dressings, the proprietary Mepilex Border design is the ONLY dressing with Deep Defense™ technology, providing an optimal balance of strength and flexibility that not only allows the dressing to provide optimal protection against shear in combination with other extrinsic factors but also maintain its protective properties throughout its wear time.
