Mepilex Heel Conformable Foam Dressing for Wounds on Heels, 13 x 20 cm

Molnlycke Mepilex Heel Conformable Foam Dressing

The Molnlycke Mepilex Heel Conformable Foam Dressing is a soft, self-adherent foam dressing shaped and sized to fit the contours of the heel. Measuring 13 x 20 cm, it's designed for caregivers, clinicians, and individuals managing heel wounds such as pressure injuries, ulcers, and other exuding wounds in this hard-to-dress area. Featuring gentle Safetac technology, it adheres securely to the skin while helping to protect the surrounding tissue.

This dressing works by absorbing exudate effectively, drawing wound fluid away from the surface to help maintain a moist healing environment while minimizing the risk of peri-wound skin maceration and erosion. Its conformable design molds to the heel for a comfortable, low-profile fit that stays in place during daily movement. The Safetac silicone adhesive allows for atraumatic, less painful dressing changes, and can often be repositioned without losing adhesion.

The outer film backing is moisture vapor permeable, moisture proof, and provides a bacterial barrier, helping to guard the wound against outside contamination. This 13 x 20 cm heel dressing is available in multiple purchase options - a Single dressing, a Box of 5, or a Case of 25 - so you can stock the quantity that fits your needs. Wound care supplies like this are typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred option below.
