Mepilex Soft Silicone Foam Dressing by Molnlycke

Mepilex Soft Silicone Foam Dressing in Canada

Mepilex Soft Silicone Foam Dressing by Mölnlycke is a sterile, non-bordered foam dressing designed for effective management of exuding wounds. The dressing is highly conformable and helps absorb wound exudate while maintaining a moist wound environment. Mölnlycke identifies Mepilex as a soft silicone foam dressing featuring its proprietary Safetac® wound contact layer.

The Safetac technology is designed to adhere gently to dry surrounding skin without adhering to the moist wound bed. This helps minimize pain and trauma during dressing removal. The technology also helps support protection of the surrounding skin during dressing changes.

Mepilex is designed to help minimize the risk of maceration by absorbing exudate effectively. Its flexible construction allows the dressing to conform to different wound shapes and anatomical locations. Mölnlycke provides application examples for areas such as between fingers, between toes, around tubing, and on other body areas.
