Mepilex Silicone Adhesive without Border Silicone Foam Dressing, 6 x 6 Inch

Molnlycke Mepilex Silicone Adhesive Without Border Silicone Foam Dressing, 6 x 6 Inch

The Mepilex silicone foam dressing from Molnlycke is a soft, highly absorbent foam wound dressing designed for the management of a wide range of exuding wounds. It's ideal for those caring for venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and diabetic ulcers, as well as other chronic and acute wounds. At the heart of this dressing is the Safetac silicone adhesive layer, which gently secures the dressing while protecting the fragile wound bed and surrounding skin.

In daily use, the dressing's conformable, absorbent foam draws in excess fluid and locks it away, helping to maintain a healthy moist wound environment while reducing the risk of maceration to the skin around the wound. The Safetac interface layer means the dressing can be removed with less pain and less risk of damaging delicate tissue, and it can often be lifted and repositioned during application for an accurate fit. The enhanced backing film works together with the foam to manage fluid effectively and provide a comfortable, low-profile wear.

This 6 x 6 inch (approximately 15 x 15 centimeters) foam pad is a borderless dressing, giving caregivers flexibility to secure it with the fixation method that best suits the wound. It is available in multiple purchase options - choose a Single dressing, a Box of 5, or a Case of 25 to match how often you change dressings. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible.
