NORCROSS, GA, June 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- M?lnlycke® will celebrate the game-changing invention of Safetac® technology while focusing on continued innovations in wound care at WOCNext 2019 being held June 23-26 in Nashville, TN. Thirty years ago, M?lnlycke introduced its proprietary Safetac® technology to address both the pain patients suffer at dressing changes and trauma caused to a wound by other dressing adhesives. Three billion dressings later, proprietary Safetac technology has become the standard for all wound care dressings today and is supported by 531 pieces of evidence, including five systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 39 randomized controlled trials.[1] Safetac technology is used in a wide range of M?lnlycke products, including new Mepilex® Border Flex, with unique Flex technology designed to stay on and conform even to difficult anatomy. Continuing Mölnlycke's commitment to best-in-class online multidisciplinary continuing education, the company is relaunching Connect2Know, which provides easy access to over 20 free CE courses spanning wound management and pressure ulcer prevention across different care settings. "Mölnlycke remains at the leading edge of reducing pain for patients, increasing ease of use for clinicians and supporting ongoing education," said Randy Schwartz, Vice President of Marketing at Mölnlycke Health Care. "From the introduction of Safetac in our Mepitel® product, to the most recent introduction of Mepilex®Border Flex, which features a unique combination of both Safetac and Flex Technology, Mölnlycke continues to break new ground in creating innovative solutions for the advanced dressing market." Safetac technology is a silicone adhesive that is clinically proven to cause less pain at removal[2] and trauma to the wound. While other adhesives stick to the top of the skin's surface, Safetac molds to the skin's uneven surface. This molding action is the secret to why Safetac technology is so effective at minimizing pain to the patient, and trauma to the wound and surrounding skin. Safetac also seals the edges of the wound to protect against leakage and maceration.[3] Mölnlycke will have special activities celebrating Safetac technology at booth #715 throughout WOCNext in addition to featuring the following products: Mepilex Border Flex, Exufiber®Ag+ and Mepilex®Border Sacrum. Professional Education Opportunities During WOCNext, Mölnlycke is sponsoring a breakfast symposium on "Innovation in Advanced Wound Care – The Vision and Value" on Tuesday, June 25, from 7:00-8:30 AM. Speakers will include renowned wound care experts Dot Weir, Joyce Black, Sue Creehan, Karen Edwards and Deborah Nelson. Mölnlycke's annual, invitation-only Evidence Dinner will once again celebrate and recognize WOC Nurse Academicians and Researchers as well as those who support them in advancing the science and art of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing. Those contributing to the publication of quality improvement posters and research articles, and in other ways progressing the discipline of this unique specialty, will be invited guests at the Monday night dinner.

Featured Products Mepilex Border Flex was specifically engineered to support fewer dressing changes, reducing dressing costs and waste, while creating an optimal healing environment. One reason for frequent dressing changes is the lack of adherence, especially on areas prone to movement. Mepilex Border Flex follows the body's natural curves and movements. Its proprietary Flex Technology has been shown to be more conformable than other dressings,[4] and to support longer wear time. Mölnlycke's proprietary Flex Technology provides 360-degree flexibility and unique conformability. Mepilex Border Flex was introduced at SAWC Fall 2018. 1.
