Mepilex XT
Highly absorbent foam dressing for normal and viscous exudate

The Mepilex XT foam dressing is designed for moderately exuding wounds. It can retain larger amounts of fluid and absorbs fluid faster than other foam dressings. It is conformable and versatile. You can use it to treat wounds with normal and viscous exudate during all stages of wound healing. Mepilex XT contains our Safetac wound contact layer. Dressings with Safetac cause less damage to the wound and skin during dressing changes, as clinically proven. By sealing the wound edges, maceration is prevented. Less damage to the wound and skin means less pain during dressing changes.

• Can absorb more fluid than other foam dressings.
• Absorbs liquid faster than other foam dressings.
• For low-viscosity and high-viscosity exudate. You can therefore use the dressing at any stage of wound healing for exuding wounds.
• It can be worn for longer periods, resulting in fewer dressing changes and therefore better compliance and lower care costs.

Application areas of Mepilex XT:
Mepilex XT is suitable for a wide variety of acute and chronic exuding wounds in all phases of wound healing, e.g., foot and leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and traumatic wounds. It is particularly suitable for absorbing highly viscous exudate.

Application of Mepilex XT:

1. Clean the wound according to standard procedures. Thoroughly dry the skin surrounding the wound. Remove the protective film.
2. For optimal results, Mepilex XT should cover at least 1–2 cm of the surrounding skin for smaller sizes (up to 10 x 10 cm) and 5 cm for larger sizes to protect the skin from maceration and skin stripping and to securely fix the dressing. Mepilex XT can be cut to size if necessary. Do not stretch the dressing.
3. Fix Mepilex XT with Tubifast or other methods.
