Mepilex Silicone Adhesive without Border Silicone Foam Dressing, 4 x 8 Inch

Molnlycke Mepilex Silicone Foam Dressing without Border, 4 x 8 Inch

The Molnlycke Mepilex Silicone Foam Dressing is a soft, absorbent foam wound dressing designed for effective moisture management and gentle, atraumatic care. This borderless 4 x 8 inch dressing is ideal for a wide range of exuding wounds, including pressure injuries, leg and foot ulcers, and traumatic or surgical wounds. Featuring the innovative Safetac silicone adhesive technology, it delivers reliable protection while prioritizing patient comfort during wear and removal.

Mepilex works by combining a highly conformable absorbent foam with an enhanced backing film to handle wound fluid effectively, helping maintain a healthy moist wound environment. The Safetac interface layer allows the dressing to be removed with less risk of damaging the wound bed or the fragile surrounding skin. Because Safetac does not stick to the wound itself yet adheres gently to the skin around it, dressing changes are simpler and more comfortable, day after day.

This dressing is offered without a border, making it a versatile choice that can be held in place with your preferred secondary fixation. It is available in multiple purchase options, including a Single dressing, a Box of 5, and a Case of 45, so you can stock up for ongoing wound care or try it first. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible. Please select your preferred option below to add it to your cart.
