Molnlycke Mepilex

Mepilex® is a foam dressing suitable for a wide range of wounds like venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers or diabetic ulcers. Mepilex minimizes pain and wound or skin damage at dressing change. Mepilex can be cut to fit making it ideal for difficult to dress areas.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

• Leg and foot ulcers

• Pressure ulcers

• Diabetic foot ulcers

Mepilex® is designed for use on a wide range of exuding wounds and wounds with compromised peri-wound skin.

Mepilex® can be used as a primary dressing on shallow, exuding wounds, and as a cover dressing for deeper wounds.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

1. Gently cleanse the wound; dry surrounding skin. Choose a size that will allow the dressing to overlap the wound area by at least 2 cm. Remove the release film.

2. Apply dressing with the adherent side to the wound. Do not stretch. When used on an extremity, position Mepilex® slightly below the center of the wound to avoid leakage caused by gravitation.

3. Fixate Mepilex® with Mepitac® tape, Mefix® fabric tape, a compression bandage, or other secondary fixation product such as Tubifast®.
