Mepilex is a soft, highly conformable silicone foam dressing designed to support wound healing by maintaining a moist environment that promotes tissue regeneration. It uses innovative Safetac™ technology, which allows the dressing to adhere gently to the surrounding skin while avoiding sticking to the wound bed. This ensures atraumatic removal, minimizing pain and trauma especially important for patients with sensitive or fragile skin. Mepilex efficiently absorbs wound exudate, reducing the risk of maceration and secondary infections, while its durable construction maintains integrity throughout wear for consistent wound protection.
