Mepilex Lite Soft Silicone Foam Dressing, 10 x 10 Centimeter

Molnlycke Mepilex Lite Soft Silicone Foam Dressing

The Molnlycke Mepilex Lite is a thin, highly conformable soft silicone foam dressing designed to manage wounds with low levels of exudate. It's ideal for people caring for chronic and acute wounds, skin tears, superficial burns, and other lightly draining wounds where gentle protection and a comfortable, low-profile dressing matter. Its standout feature is the patented Safetac layer, a soft silicone adhesive that seals around wound edges to keep drainage from leaking onto healthy surrounding skin.

Mepilex Lite absorbs excess exudate while helping maintain a moist wound-healing environment, which supports the body's natural repair process. Because the dressing is thin and flexible, it conforms closely to the body and works well under compression bandages. The Safetac technology allows the dressing to be removed without sticking to the wound bed or damaging fragile skin, so dressing changes are more comfortable and less traumatic. It can also be left in place during radiation therapy within recommended energy ranges and absorbed doses.

This dressing is available in multiple purchase options, including a single dressing, a box of 5, and a case of 50, so you can stock the quantity that fits your needs. You can cut the dressing to suit various wound shapes and sizes for a custom fit. This item may be FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred quantity below to order.
