Mepilex Lite Soft Silicone Foam Dressing - Box of 5

🔷 Product Overview

The Mepilex® Lite Soft Silicone Foam Dressing is a thin, highly flexible foam dressing designed for the management of low-exuding acute and chronic wounds. Featuring advanced Safetac® Soft Silicone Technology, Mepilex Lite provides gentle adhesion that helps protect fragile skin while minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes.

Its low-profile foam construction conforms easily to body contours and difficult-to-dress areas, making it an excellent choice for wounds on joints, bony prominences, and other challenging locations. The dressing helps maintain a moist wound healing environment while sealing wound edges to reduce the risk of maceration.

Mepilex® Lite can be cut to size for a customized fit and may be used under compression therapy or in combination with wound gels. It is also clinically used to help manage radiotherapy-induced skin reactions, protect fragile skin, and reduce pressure and friction from medical devices.
