Mepilex Ag 20cm X 20cm - Ref - 287410

Mepilex Ag Antimicrobial Soft Silicone Foam Dressing is a wound care product used to manage low to moderately exuding wounds such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and partial thickness burns. 

It has a soft silicone Safetac wound contact layer that gently adheres to the skin without causing pain or trauma during dressing changes. It includes a grey foam pad containing silver sulphate, which helps fight wound-related bacteria and fungi.

This dressing absorbs wound exudate, maintains a moist healing environment, and forms an effective barrier against microorganisms. It is flexible, breathable, and waterproof, making it easy to apply and comfortable for the patient. 

It can also be used under compression bandages and is suitable for infected wounds when supervised by a healthcare professional.
