Mepilex Ag Foam Dressing

Creating an ideal wound healing environment, Mepilex® Ag is an antimicrobial foam dressing that feels soft and comfortable against the skin while utilizing Safetac® technology to close the wound’s edges. Features Safetac® technology is integral to the Mepilex® Ag dressing. This layer: • Prevents exudate from migrating to the surrounding skin. • Helps lessen maceration risks, which can damage the skin and draw out the healing process. • Allows for clean, gentle dressing changes without damaging or irritating the wound bed and surrounding skin. • Lessens patient pain and improves comfort. Once applied, Mepilex® Ag begins to deactivate pathogens on the wound bed within 30 seconds and continues to do so for up to seven days after application. In the process, Mepilex® Ag: • Reduces both microorganisms and odors. • Remains in place even after adjustments and when you change the secondary dressing. • Can be worn under a compression bandage. • Can be cut down to fit the wound’s size. • Is less likely to irritate the skin or cause an allergic reaction.
