MEPILEX SAFETAC SOFT SILICONE DRESSING 5 PCS - 11 X 20CM

Mepilex Foam Dressing

Product Description:

Mepilex is a soft and highly conformable foam dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac layer seals the wound edges, preventing exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, thus minimizing the risk of maceration. The Safetac layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin, or exposing the patient to additional pain.

Benefits of Mepilex:

• Minimizes pain and trauma at dressing change
• Stays in place allowing application of compression or retention bandages
• Can be used under compression bandaging
• Can be cut to size for difficult-to-dress areas
• Promotes patient comfort during wear
• Can remain in place for several days depending on the condition of the wound
• Can be reapplied
• Low potential for skin irritation and allergy

Areas of Use:

Mepilex is designed for a wide range of low to moderately exuding wounds such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and traumatic wounds, e.g., skin tears and secondary healing wounds.

Mepilex® Heel:

Mepilex Heel conforms well to the heel, preventing exudate from pooling and causing maceration. It is ideal for most shapes or sizes of feet and is adaptable, allowing positioning on the malleolus.
