Conforming to the body’s shape, Mepilex® Lite is a thin foam dressing designed to assist with managing no- to low-exudate wounds. Using Safetac® technology, Mepilex® Lite dressings gently adhere to the skin to remain in place without damaging tissue upon removal. This combination allows for atraumatic dressing changes and reduces maceration risks.

How Do Mepilex® Lite Dressings Work?
Once applied, Mepilex® Lite dressings help create a moist environment without sticking to the wound bed. At the same time, the foam material with sealed edges absorbs and contains exudate, preventing it from leaking onto the surrounding skin.

Each Mepilex® Lite dressing features the following components:

• Safetac® technology: Safetac® technology provides a two-fold purpose. The material prevents the dressing from adhering to the wound bed and, at the same time, helps seal the wound’s edges. This prevents exudate from leaking out, lessens pain during dressing changes and reduces potential skin reactions after a patient has undergone radiotherapy.
• Thin, absorbent foam pads: This material draws in fluid for low-exudate wounds and lets the dressing conform to the wound’s shape.
• Polyurethane film: Polyurethane manages to block out exterior moisture, bacteria and viruses. At the same time, a high moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) helps create a balanced healing environment.

Benefits of Mepilex® Lite Foam Dressings
Through this combination, Mepilex® Lite dressings:

• Offer a softer, more conformable solution for healing no- and low-exudate wounds, including for areas that are challenging to dress like the breasts and armpits.
• Lessen potential pain during dressing changes.
• Can be fit to the wound’s shape to better seal the edges.
• Help with lessening maceration risks.
• Allow for more comfortable wear.
• Create a moisture-balanced healing environment.
• Can be worn for up to seven days.
• Can be used alone, under a compression bandage and/or with wound gel.

Uses for Mepilex® Lite Dressings
Mepilex® Lite dressings are designed for no- to low-exudate chronic and acute wounds, including:

• Diabetic ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Partial-thickness burns
• Epidermolysis bullosa
• Leg and foot ulcers
• Radiotherapy recovery
• Peristomal irritation
• Fragile and compromised skin

Mepilex® Lite sizes available include 2.4” x 3.4”, 4” x 4”, 6” x 6” and 8” x 20”. Dressings can be cut to the wound’s size for a more precise fit.

Mepilex Lite Foam Dressing

Conforming to the body’s shape, Mepilex Lite is a thin foam dressing designed to assist with managing no- to low-exudate wounds. Using Safetac technology, Mepilex Lite dressings gently adhere to the skin to remain in place without damaging tissue upon removal. This combination allows for atraumatic dressing changes and reduces maceration risks. Further, the Safetac layer of Mepilex Lite seals the wounds margins to reduce the severity of skin reactions from radiotherapy treatment. 

How Do Mepilex Lite Dressings Work?

Each Mepilex Lite dressing features the following components:

  • Safetac Technology: prevents the dressing from adhering to the wound bed and seals the wound’s edges preventing exudate from leaking out; lessens the pain during dressing changes
  • Foam Pads: draws in fluid for low-exudate wounds and lets the dressing conform to the wound’s shape
  • Polyurethane Film: blocks out exterior moisture, bacteria, and viruses; has a high moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) to create a balanced healing environment

Benefits

  • Conformable: fits into the wound’s shape, including challenging areas to dress like breasts and armpits
  • Comfortable: softer material for easy usage
  • Versatile: can be cut to fit specific wound shapes
  • Seals: keeps out exterior contaminants and reduces the risk of maceration for a faster recovery while keeping a successful moisture-balance
  • Silicone Adhesive: a more gentle adhesion that reduces potential pain and irritation during dressing. Mepilex Lite can be lifted and adjusted without losing adherent properties.
  • 7 day wear time
  • Latex-free and hypoallergenic

Uses

  • Diabetic ulcers
  • Pressure ulcers
  • Partial-thickness burns
  • Epidermolysis bullosa
  • Leg and foot ulcers
  • Radiotherapy recovery

  • Can be used under compression bandages and with wound gels

How to Use Mepilex Lite Foam Dressing

  1. Cleanse the wound in accordance with normal procedures.
  2. Dry the surrounding skin thoroughly.
  3. The dressing should overlap dry surrounding skin by at least 2cm. If required, Mepilex can be cut to fit.
  4. Remove one side of the release film and apply Mepilex Lite to the wound. Do not stretch. Remove the remaining film and gently smooth in place.
  5. Fixate the dressing with a secondary dressing, tape, or another type of adhesive.
  6. Mepilex Lite may be left in place for several days, depending on the condition of the wound and surrounding skin. Create a changing schedule with your doctor or nurse.

Warnings

  • Do not use Mepilex Lite together with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide.
