The Mepilex Self-Adherent Foam Dressing by Molnlycke is an absorbent dressing that treats a variety of wounds as a primary application. The dressing uses Safetac technology, a special adhesive that reduces the amount of irritation to the skin and healing wound tissues when removed. This is one of the more popular high-end dressings, especially among those treating leg ulcers due to pressure or diabetes.
These absorbent dressings are designed to handle wound severity ranging from low- to medium-exudate wounds, including post-op wounds or diabetic wounds. They are also good for both chronic and acute wounds and conform well to the wound bed. To get a better fit, Mepilex can also be cut. The dressing peels off softly, meaning less stress on the skin and a better healing experience for both patient and caregiver.
Look to Tubifast Tubular Retention Dressing for a secondary wrap over Mepilex.
