Product highlights
- Soft silicone contact layer
The silicone layer in Mepilex is designed to make dressing changes as non-intrusive as possible. It gently adheres to dry skin while helping to protect newly formed tissue during removal.
- Absorbent foam core
The absorbent structure draws in and retains moisture, maintaining a cleaner wound environment between dressing changes. This helps prevent fluid pooling on the skin, supporting consistent wear.
- Cut-to-size versatility
The dressing can be trimmed to suit unique wound sites and irregular shapes. This adaptability allows healthcare professionals and caregivers to create a more precise placement for individual needs.
- Low-profile design
The thin, discreet structure of Mepilex makes it comfortable to wear under clothing or secondary dressings. It stays smooth against the skin and reduces the risk of edges lifting during daily activity.
Dressing formats
Mepilex dressings are available in both bordered and unbordered formats, allowing healthcare professionals and patients to select the most appropriate option for each care scenario.
- Bordered dressings feature an adhesive edge that helps keep the dressing securely in place. They are typically used on areas where movement may dislodge standard dressings or when additional fixation is preferred.
- Unbordered dressings do not include an adhesive edge and are designed to be held in place with a secondary fixation method. This style offers flexibility for wounds in flat or delicate areas or where frequent dressing changes are required.
For specific needs such as the heel or other curved areas, specialised Mepilex shapes are available to provide better coverage and placement. All variants maintain the same quality foam construction and soft silicone contact layer found across the range, differing mainly in how they are positioned and secured.
Application guidance
- Cleanse the wound and surrounding skin.
- Select a size that overlaps the wound margins.
- Trim if required for a better fit.
- Apply gently without stretching the dressing.
- Secure with secondary fixation if additional stability is required.
- Change as directed by your clinician or when exudate reaches the edge of the absorbent area.
Important information
- For use on low to highly exuding wounds under clinical direction.
- Not for use on infected wounds unless directed by a healthcare professional.
- Discontinue use if irritation or unexpected changes occur.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
