Mepilex Lite Soft Silicone Foam Dressing, 20 x 50 Centimeter

Molnlycke Mepilex Lite Soft Silicone Foam Dressing, 20 x 50 cm

The Molnlycke Mepilex Lite is a thin, highly conformable soft silicone foam dressing designed to manage low to moderately exuding wounds while keeping the wound bed comfortably moist. It's a great choice for anyone caring for shallow wounds, skin tears, abrasions, and other lightly draining areas that benefit from a gentle, atraumatic dressing that stays close to the skin.

Mepilex Lite absorbs excess exudate and maintains a moist wound environment to support the body's natural healing process. Its patented Safetac layer seals gently around the wound edges to prevent exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, and it minimizes pain and trauma at dressing changes because it doesn't stick to the moist wound bed. The thin, flexible profile makes it particularly suited for use under compression bandages, and it can even be left in place during radiation therapy within recommended energy ranges and absorbed doses.

This dressing is available in multiple purchase options, so you can choose a Single, a Box of 4, or a Case of 24 based on how often you change dressings. Each dressing measures 20 x 50 centimeters and can be cut to suit various wound shapes and sizes for a custom fit. Like most home wound-care supplies, it is typically FSA/HSA eligible.
