Mepilex Silicone Adhesive without Border Silicone Foam Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

Molnlycke Mepilex Silicone Foam Dressing Without Border, 4 x 4 Inch

The Molnlycke Mepilex Silicone Foam Dressing (without border) is a soft, highly absorbent foam dressing designed for a wide range of exuding wounds. It's an excellent choice for managing venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and diabetic ulcers, as well as other chronic and acute wounds that produce moderate to heavy fluid. The dressing's featured Safetac silicone adhesive interface is engineered to hold the dressing gently in place while minimizing pain and trauma during removal.

Mepilex works by absorbing and retaining wound fluid within its conformable foam pad, helping to maintain a moist wound-healing environment while protecting the surrounding skin from excess moisture. The Safetac layer seals the wound margins to reduce the risk of maceration and allows the dressing to be lifted and repositioned without sticking to the wound bed. An enhanced backing film pairs with the absorbent foam to handle fluid effectively, supporting comfortable, less painful dressing changes day after day.

This borderless version is ideal when a secondary fixation (such as a bandage, tape, or wrap) is used to hold the dressing in place, giving clinicians and caregivers flexibility for awkward or hard-to-dress areas. It is available in multiple purchase options - order a single dressing, a box of 5, or a case of 70 to suit your needs. This wound care product is typically FSA/HSA eligible.
