Description
Mepilex is a soft, highly conformable foam dressing designed to absorb exudate and maintain an optimal moist wound environment. Its gentle silicone layer helps seal the wound edges to prevent leakage onto surrounding skin, reducing the risk of maceration. This layer also allows the dressing to be removed or repositioned without damaging the wound or causing unnecessary discomfort.
