Mepilex
Adaptable foam dressing for a wide variety of chronic and acute wounds

Medical professionals and patients worldwide trust the Mepilex absorbent foam dressing for the treatment of a wide range of chronic and acute wounds. It can be used for pressure ulcers, burns, and even epidermolysis bullosa. The product is easy to adapt and provides effective exudate management. Mepilex is designed for a variety of low to moderately exuding wounds. You can easily customize Mepilex by cutting it to fit a specific wound or body area, making it ideal for hard-to-dress areas. Every Mepilex dressing features Safetac – the original silicone adhesive contact layer that minimizes pain during dressing changes. This allows you to easily remove the dressing without damaging the skin, making dressing changes less painful for your patients. Safetac also seals the wound edges to protect the skin from damaging leakage and maceration. Mepilex is extremely versatile thanks to its many available sizes and shapes. You can also easily cut a Mepilex foam dressing to size for a specific application, for example, if you are treating wounds on parts of the body that are difficult to bandage.

Advantages of the Mepilex foam dressing:

• Soft and comfortable – suitable for many wound situations.
• Less pain during dressing changes thanks to a contact layer with silicone adhesive.
• It seals the wound edges and thus prevents maceration.
• Ensures effective exudate management.

Instructions for use:
Clean the wound and dry the surrounding skin. Remove the protective film. Apply Mepilex, adhesive side down, to the surrounding skin at least 2 cm above the wound, without stretching it. Secure the dressing as needed, depending on the location, e.g., with Tubifast.
