Mepilex is a soft, highly conformable silicone foam dressing designed to absorb exudate and maintain a moist wound environment. The advanced Safetac technology ensures that Mepilex does not stick to the wound bed but adheres gently to the surrounding skin, allowing for easy application of secondary fixation. This technology also enables the dressing to be changed without causing damage to the wound or additional pain to the patient. Mepilex effectively absorbs exudate and minimizes the risk of maceration.

- Atraumatic removal, causing minimal discomfort to the wound and surrounding skin
