Molnlycke Mepilex Silicone Dressing 10cm X 10cm

Mepilex is a soft and highly conformable silicone foam dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac technology prevents Mepilex from sticking to the wound bed yet adheres gently to the surrounding skin allowing easy application of secondary fixation. The Safetac layer also ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or subjecting the patient to additional pain. Mepilex absorbs exudate effectively and ensures a low risk of maceration.

Benefits:

• May be lifted and adjusted without losing its adherent properties
• Minimises the risk of maceration
• May remain in place for several days depending on the condition of the wound

Areas of use:

• Leg and foot ulcers
• Under compression
• Pressure ulcers
• Moderately exuding wounds
• Graft and donor sites
• Traumatic wounds (e.g. skin tears and secondary healing wounds)
