Mölnlycke Mepilex Foam 15cmx15cm Pk/5

How Mepilex works

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 the exudate
to leak onto the surrounding skin, thus minimising the risk for
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
• Minimises pain and trauma at dressing changes
• Stays in place allowing for “hands-free” to facilitate application of compression or retention bandages
• Well suited to be used under compression bandages
• Can be cut to suit various wound shapes and difficult-todress locations
• Promotes patient comfort during wear
• Can remain in place for several days depending on the
condition of the wound
• Can be lifted and adjusted without losing its adherent
properties
• Low potential for skin irritation and allergy
