Information

Mepilex absorbent foam dressing is trusted around the world to treat 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 less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. – so you can remove it easily without damaging the skin; less pain for your patients. Safetac seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leakage and maceration.

Mepilex is designed for a wide range of low- to medium-exuding wounds. You can customise 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.

The benefits of this dressing are:

• Soft and conformable so you can use it easily and for many situations.
• Less pain during dressing changes.
• Seals wound margin to avoid maceration.
• Helps you effectively manage exudate.

How To Use

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.
