Description

A non-bordered soft silicone foam dressing from the Mepilex range by Mölnlycke Health Care, designed for the management of low to moderately exuding wounds. The dressing consists of an absorbent polyurethane foam paired with a Safetac soft silicone wound contact layer that adheres gently to dry skin while avoiding adherence to the moist wound bed. A vapour‑permeable, water‑resistant backing film acts as a barrier to liquids and microorganisms, helping to protect the wound while supporting moisture balance.

Key features

• Conformable and can be cut to shape for an optimal fit
• Absorbs exudate to help maintain a moist wound environment
• Safetac technology minimizes pain and trauma at dressing changes
• Seals wound edges to help prevent leakage and reduce maceration risk
• Stays in place; can be lifted and adjusted without losing adherence
• Suitable for use under compression bandaging
• Comfortable during wear with low potential for skin irritation or allergy
• Wear time of several days depending on wound condition and exudate level
