Because of people like you helping us, we are able to take more innovative steps to revolutionise care, for people and planet.
Please, if you have the time, read some of the stories below and maybe even add your own.
Krissie Stiles
I remember when the Mepilex family of dressings first appeared on our burns unit! We had nothing like this before and it quickly became a firm favourite for our inpatients’, outpatients’ and outreach patients’ wound care!
Christine Milne - Skin Tear Patient
I have suffered from fragile skin for numerous years and often get skin tears, Mepilex Border Comfort has allowed me to have my independence without multiple visits to the health center.
They showed me how to treat the skin tear and apply the Mepliex. I can shower daily and it is comfortable to wear especially on joints. My skin tear healed fast with Mepilex Border Comfort and it was easy to apply and remove without causing pain to my skin.

Patients frequently comment on the comfort of wearing and removing dressings. Additionally, I've urged staff to decrease dressing change frequency and utilise the exudate progress monitor, to guide changes enhancing cost-effectiveness within our trust.
Matt Barrans: District Nurse, Bradford
Exufiber has proven particularly effective for wounds requiring longer intervals between changes, surpassing our previous hydrofiber in longevity and ease of removal.
