Molnlycke Health Care - Mepilex Ag - Silver Foam Dressing 4 X 4 Inch Square Sterile

Mepilex Ag is a soft, conformable antimicrobial foam dressing designed to absorb exudate while maintaining a moist wound environment. Its Safetac technology layer seals wound edges, preventing exudate leakage and reducing the risk of maceration. The gentle adhesive allows for pain-free dressing changes without damaging the wound or surrounding skin.

Mepilex Ag begins inactivating wound-related pathogens within 30 minutes, with sustained antimicrobial action for up to 7 days. It also helps reduce odor by lowering microorganism levels.

Features:
- Minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes
- Stays securely in place, allowing easy application of compression or retention bandages
- Suitable for use under compression bandages
- Can be trimmed to fit various wound shapes and difficult-to-dress areas
- Enhances patient comfort during wear
- May remain in place for several days, depending on wound condition
- Adjustable without losing adherence

Suggested Use:
Mepilex Ag is ideal for managing low to moderately exuding wounds, including leg ulcers, foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and partial-thickness burns. Apply the dressing directly to the wound, ensuring full coverage. Secure with an appropriate bandage if needed. Change as required based on wound condition and exudate levels.
