Mepilex Soft Silicone Foam Dressing 10 x 10 cm - Box of 5

🔷 Product Overview

The Mepilex® Soft Silicone Foam Dressing 10 x 10 cm is a highly conformable absorbent foam dressing designed to manage a wide variety of exuding wounds while helping protect fragile skin. Featuring proprietary Safetac® Technology, this advanced dressing minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes while maintaining a moist wound healing environment that supports the natural healing process.

The soft polyurethane foam absorbs and retains wound exudate while helping reduce the risk of maceration. Its flexible design conforms closely to body contours, making it suitable for difficult-to-dress areas and enhancing patient comfort during wear.

Mepilex® may be used for wound management, skin protection, and as part of preventative skin care protocols to help reduce the risk of pressure injuries. It can also be used under compression bandaging and in combination with wound gels when clinically appropriate.
