How has Mepilex Border been improved with the new backing film that was introduced in June 2006?
The new backing film features a number of improvements. The film has better breathability and thus the fluid handling capacity is improved, reducing the risk for leakage and maceration. It is viral proof giving protection from outer contamination (it has passed viral penetration test ASTM F1671). The film is more transparent which makes the dressing more discrete. The friction of the film is lower against clothes and linens for more secure fixation.
