Mepilex absorbent foam dressing is trusted around the world to manage a wide range of chronic and acute wounds. This product is easily conformable and highly absorbent, to effectively manage wound exudate. Every Mepilex wound dressing includes Safetac –the original contact layer designed to minimize pain and trauma at dressing change, so you can remove it easily without damaging the skin.

How to Use Mepilex Foam Dressing
- Clean the wound prior to applying a dressing.
- The dressing should overlap the wound bed by at least 2cm onto the surrounding skin. Select the closest size dressing and then cut to fit your wound bed.
- Remove one side of the film backing and apply that side of the dressing to the wound. Remove the other film backing and apply that side. Ensure proper adhesion by applying light pressure across the dressing.
- Cover with a secondary dressing according to your exudate level. Mepilex Foam Dressing can be left on for up to 7 days, depending on your exudate level and directions from your doctor. The secondary dressing you choose may need to be changed daily. Consult your healthcare professional to select the right duration for you.
