It can be a challenge to find a comfortable adherent dressing that provides efficient exudate management, while maintaining a moist wound environment and remains in situ during daily activities. This article describes Mepilex® Border Comfort, a new advanced 5-layer dressing developed for the management of exuding wounds. Results of a user preference study comparing Mepilex® Border Comfort with six commonly used silicone-bordered foam dressings among people without wounds and data from a product evaluation of the dressing on skin tears are also presented.
