Mepilex Border Ag is an antimicrobial all-in-one 5 layer foam dressing that effectively absorbs and retains exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The antimicrobial action reduces bioburden in the wound by inactivating wound relevant pathogens within 30 minutes with a sustained effect for up to 7 days. 

How does it work?
The Mepilex Border Ag is impregnated with silver sulphate ions in a compressed foam layer which are activated when coming in contact with exudate. The silver sulphate ions bind to the cell wall proteins causing them to rupture. The silver sulphate ions may also bind to bacterial enzymes and cell DNA, inhibiting them to function normally. The ions will divide throughout the wound fluid until it reaches equilibrium, thus sustaining it's antimicrobial effect in the wound dressing and in the wound.

Reduced pain and damage
All Mepilex Border Ag dressings seek to reduce trauma caused by dressing changes. This is made possible by Molnlycke's proven Safetac® soft silicone wound contact layer. Safetac is the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. Designed to mold softly to skin without sticking to the moist wound – so you can remove it easily without damaging the skin. That means less pain for your patients. Safetac also protects new tissue and intact skin – so wounds remain undisturbed, to support faster natural healing. Plus it seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leaks and maceration.

If your hands are cold or wet after knowing these handlebar covers exist, well, that’s on you.
Color: Black
These atv gloves, mitts, handlebar covers, whatever you want to call them are a fantastic value. I was honestly surprised at the quality of construction. They have a soft comfortable cotton lining that seems to really hold heat from your hands. The cordura outside is super strong and the seams are very well done. There is a zip along the inside bend to allow for expansion over bigger controls to to allow for use with heavier gloves. (Just leave it unzipped) The draw string to tighten and secure the end to the handlebar is easily to operate and keeps everything snug and in place. It takes about 5 seconds to put each side on or take off. The draw string on the covers is about 5 times longer than necessary and I ended up cutting a foot or so off. The down side of these is how snug a fit they have to the contour of the handlebars and controls. The material is pretty stiff, so you have to be careful. I was getting back on my Polaris 570 after stopping and I typically just leave my fourwheeler in high, so when I leaned forward on my handlebars the covers were stiff enough to push my throttle. Thank goodness nothing was in front of me, or was around to witness my panic. Ha. If I turn to sharply I have to be mindful of the material pressing against my hand and thus the throttle. It does Unzip at the elbow of the covers, but the seams are so stiff there is still resistance. I wish there was a softer material at the hand and bend, however the rigidity really makes it easy to slide your hands/arms (5’8” with alligator arms and they just about come to my elbows) in and out easily, even with a heavy coat. They are indeed 100 waterproof, as unfortunately tested on 2 occasions. They are 112% windproof and I can comfortably ride all day at 35-40 degrees with no gloves(I live in west Alabama so sub 40 degrees is cold for me.) They have been an absolute game changer for the early morning drive in at the hunting club. They are a little stiff for sharp turns on wooded trails, but I expect they will soften with use. Be mindful of the throttle and KNOW YOUR CONTROLS as they will be covered, but do yourself a favor and get these. If your hands are cold driving your fourwheeler after knowing these exist, well, it’s your own fault.

Product still holding up
Works great. Protects hand from wind and sticks. The cell phone pocket doesn't hold large phones, but I don't think it's even necessary.

Can hit the brake
Color: Black
Works well to keep the cold off your hands. Unfortunately at higher speeds, the wind resistants can actually cause them to hit the front brake. Was riding home doing almost 80 and got a wiff of burning brakes....pulled over and they were smoking pretty bad.

Draw string sewn into seam on gloves. They sent a new pair
The draw string was sewn into the seam of the gloves. I tried to get the draw string to separate from the seam and it broke. Hoping vendor sends me a replacement. The product looks good and is of good quality. Will update further as time goes on so you know how they wear They sent me a new pair and they are good. so changed my review to reflect this. They have good customer service. I would buy from them again

Cheap Draw Strings
Color: Black
Never had a chance to use them because the cheap thin cord draw string snapped on both covers. Therefore, I was unable to fasten them to the handbars. I tried zip ties to hold them in place, but the either slid off or crowded the hand space inside.
