Minimizing wound care pain

Patients suffering from wounds often have anxiety about the wound care process. A number of studies suggest that the pain of dressing changes can impair healing.  We solved this problem more than 30 years ago by developing Safetac^®️ technology, which is clinically proven to hurt less when removed, avoid maceration and reduce the need for pain medication.

Keeping patients free of pressure injuries

Pressure injuries are a rampant side effect of healthcare, affecting 15% of acute care and 28% of long-term care patients. They’re the second-most common cause of medical malpractice civil suits. The average settlement? $250,000, with some awards reaching $312 million.   There’s a reason these judgments are so high: pressure ulcers are extremely painful, life threatening and may be preventable.  

Mölnlycke helps health systems prevent these devastating injuries with sophisticated solutions. For instance, our effectiveness of our Mepilex^® Border dressings are supported by, have yielded more than 80 pieces of evidence proving their effectiveness in pressure ulcer prevention.
