Mepilex Absorbent Foam Dressing is trusted around the world to manage a wide range of chronic and acute wounds. The product is easily conformable and highly absorbent, to effectively manage wound exudate.
Every Mepilex wound dressing includes Safetac, the original contact layer designed to minimize pain and trauma at dressing change, so you can remove it easily without damaging the skin. That means less pain for your patients. Safetac also seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leakage and maceration.
Mepilex may be cut to suit various wound shapes and difficult to dress locations.
When to use Mepilex: Mepilex is designed for a wide range of low- to medium-exuding wounds. You can customize Mepilex by cutting it to fit an individual wound or body location. This makes it ideal for difficult-to-dress areas. You can use Mepilex together with our Tubifast fixation.
How to use Mepilex: Always clean the wound prior to applying a dressing. The dressing should overlap the wound bed by at least 2 cm onto the surrounding skin. Use Tubifast when fixation is necessary.
