Molnlycke Mepilex Heel

Mepilex® Heel is a shaped foam dressing, designed for heels and typically used on pressure ulcers. Mepilex Heel minimizes pain and wound or skin damage at dressing change. Mepilex Heel is soft and conformable and will easily and comfortably fit the heel.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

• Heel wounds

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

1. Gently cleanse the wound; dry surrounding skin. (Mepilex® Heel will not adhere to a moist surface.)

2. Remove the longer release film and fixate under the foot. Remove the shorter release film and mold the dressing around the heel bringing edges together. (Do not stretch.) Mepilex® Heel should overlap the wound bed by at least 2 cm onto the surrounding skin.

3. Secure in place. Mepilex® Heel can be held securely in place with a light tubular bandage such as Tubifast® 2-Way Stretch or secured with Mepore® Film or Mefix®.
