Description
| Mepilex® Ag is an antimicrobial soft silicone foam dressing with silver, designed for the management of low to moderate exuding wounds and burns. It absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment, while the Safetac® layer seals around the wound edges to help prevent exudate leakage onto the surrounding skin, minimising the risk of maceration.
The Safetac® layer also minimises trauma to the wound bed and surrounding skin during removal, helping to reduce pain for the patient. Mepilex® Ag provides antimicrobial activity within 30 minutes and up to 7 days, inactivating a wide range of wound-relevant microorganisms (in vitro).
Mepilex® Ag may be used on infected wounds as part of a treatment regimen under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional and can be used under compression bandaging. The dressing can be cut to suit different wound shapes and difficult-to-dress locations.
