Barcelona, Spain. 27 March 2025. New study reports that switching patients with chronic wounds to the multi-layered, bordered silicone-coated foam dressing, Mepilex® Border Flex, alongside a clinician educational support programme, resulted in a significant reduction in the number of dressing changes being undertaken and a reduction in dressing-related costs.1  The study, sponsored by Mölnlycke Health Care, and conducted across primary care facilities in Seville, Spain was today presented as an e-poster at the 35th Conference of the European Wound Management Association (EWMA) 2025 in Barcelona, Spain by the principal investigator Dr Andres Roldan Valenzuela, Centro de Salud Mairena del Aljarafe – Cuidad Expo, Seville. The primary outcome of the study was a statistically significant reduction in the number of dressing changes undertaken, prior to and after the switch from a bordered foam dressing (baseline) to  Mepilex® Border Flex; results demonstrated the median number of dressing changes reduced during the study period, from three in a seven-day period to just one.1 Other reported outcomes included:1 32% wounds healed by the final visit 50% reduction in wound area in four weeks in 75% of patients Two thirds (68.7%) reduction in wound area from baseline to the final visit Reduced pain at dressing changes (pain severity scores of 3.1 - 3.3 at baseline associated with previously used dressings, compared to scores of 0.5 - 1.1 recorded with Mepilex® Border Flex at the final visit) 44% reduction in weekly dressing cost per patient (5.38€ less after the dressing switch) No dressing related adverse events Almost all (97%) of the clinicians rated the overall performance of Mepilex® Border Flex to be better than the previously used dressings, while 100% of patients rated Mepilex® Border Flex as ‘good’ to ‘very good’ in terms of overall satisfaction, compared to 65% for the previously used dressings. Dr Andres Roldan Valenzuela, principal investigator commented “The results of this study clearly demonstrate how simple changes to a wound care treatment regime can bring about positive outcomes for both patients and healthcare providers. At a time when healthcare systems and staff are under increasing pressure on both cost and time it is encouraging that there are solutions to help drive efficiencies and improve outcomes for all involved.” For more information, please contact:  [Contact card] Sofia Lindqvist About the study design The study involved 37 adult patients, aged between 30 and 90+ years presenting with wounds that had not reduced in size by >40-50% in the previous month and had been managed with foam dressing (other than Mepilex® Border Flex), for a minimum of four weeks (baseline). Category 2 pressure ulcers (24.3%) and venous leg ulcers (18.9%) were the most common wound types. Patients in the study had Mepilex® Border Flex applied to their wounds for ≥4 weeks, in conjunction with standard of care.

Gothenburg, Sweden. 28 January 2025. “This is a significant milestone in Mölnlycke’s commitment to halving Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030” said Caterina Camerani, VP Sustainability at Mölnlycke. “It propels us towards our vision of building a sustainable healthcare manufacturing ecosystem.”   A major enabler in reaching the goal was signing two virtual Power Purchase Agreements (vPPAs) for the regions where the company has the highest manufacturing footprint. To cover electricity consumption for the sites in the European Union, Mölnlycke signed a long-term vPPA committing to purchasing renewable electricity generated in Mutkalampi, the largest wind farm in Finland. The three manufacturing plants in Malaysia will handle their renewable electricity needs through a similar vPPA from a newly established solar power plant in Bukit Kayu Hitam, Malaysia. In addition, Mölnlycke continues to invest in on-site generation of solar energy with manufacturing sites in Malaysia and the UK having completed the installation of rooftop solar panels and the installation on factories in Thailand ongoing. The remaining electricity consumption needs for the established manufacturing sites in Thailand, the UK and the US, as well as the newly established plant in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are met through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). As stated in the near-term goal validated by SBTi, Mölnlycke will continue active sourcing of renewable electricity through 2030.   For more information, please contact:  [Contact card] Sofia Lindqvist

Gothenburg, Sweden. 8 January 2025. Mölnlycke Health Care, a world-leading MedTech company specialising in wound care solutions, announced today an investment of USD 8 million in Siren.

Gothenburg, Sweden. 19 November 2024. The Cebu Comprehensive Cleft Care Center of Excellence is now officially inaugurated. This milestone is a result of the longstanding partnership between Mölnlycke and Operation Smile – a global non-profit charity organisation. The centre will bring comprehensive care to people born with a cleft lip or palette (CLP) in the region and is expected to serve 10,000 patients in the first three years of its operations. The incidence of babies born with cleft lip and cleft palate is higher in South-East Asia than in other regions globally. The new clinic will offer life-changing surgeries and comprehensive cleft care to patients in the region where access to healthcare services is difficult. “The support from Mölnlycke in establishing the centre is grounded in our commitment to ensure equitable access to healthcare for all and the vision we have for achieving sustainable healthcare. A part of this vision is making the centre self-sufficient, and that includes raising the level of knowledge of the local healthcare professionals in the areas where Mölnlycke can offer expertise”, comments Eric de Kesel, COO & EVP Sustainability, Mölnlycke. “Cleft patients continue to be stigmatised and we are delighted to be able to contribute to changing their lives and fully including them in society,” he adds. “This clinic is a milestone for us, but also for cleft care globally, as it is also a training hub. In a rather lengthy construction project, our partner Mölnlycke has supported us financially while, in parallel with the construction, we have jointly created and rolled out a training programme with innovative methods and solutions,” says Emiliano Romano, Executive Director, Operation Smile Philippines. “Together with some of our volunteers, clinical specialists from Mölnlycke are training the local healthcare professionals in areas such as infection prevention.” The Cebu Comprehensive Cleft Care Center of Excellence is located at the Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC) hospital, in the Philippines.
