Mölnlycke Mepilex Foam Dressings

Features:

• Flexible and absorbent soft silicone
• Vapor permeable polyurethane film backing
• No damage to vital tissues
• Increased patient comfort
• Pain-free dressing change
• No adhesive residue
• Ease of handling
• 5 dressing per box

Indications:

Designed for a wide range of exuding wounds, painful wounds, and wounds with compromised or fragile surrounding skin, including pressure ulcers and lower-extremity ulcers, such as venous and diabetic ulcers.

Applying a Mepilex Absorbent Foam Dressing:

• Clean the wound area. Make sure the surrounding skin is dry.
• Select an appropriate dressing size.
• For best results Mepilex should overlap the surrounding skin by at least 3/4" (2 cm).
• If necessary, cut the dressing to fit.

Removal:

1. Leave Mepilex in place for several days depending on the condition of the wound and the surrounding skin, or according to facility policy.
