Mepilex® Absorbent Foam Dressing – Safetac® 10×10 cm (Sterile, 1 Unit)

Mepilex is a conformable, sterile foam dressing featuring Safetac® silicone contact layer. Designed to absorb exudate efficiently while gently sealing wound margins, it supports moist healing and reduces trauma during dressing changes—ideal for fragile and chronic wounds.

Key Benefits
  • Safetac® silicone layer minimizes pain and tissue trauma during dressing removal
  • Seals wound edges to prevent exudate leakage and maceration
  • Highly conformable—it can be cut to fit and used under compression immediately
  • Effective absorbency for low-to-medium exuding wounds, reducing the need for frequent changes
  • Transparent, breathable backing film protects the wound from contaminants while allowing moisture vapor transmission
Materials & Features
  • Layers include a soft polyurethane foam pad with superabsorbent fibres and a Safetac® silicone wound contact layer
  • Waterproof but breathable backing film; latex-free and single-use sterile dressing
  • Size: 10 × 10 cm dressing size (~6.5 × 6.5 cm foam pad) with 2 cm margin overlap recommendation 
How to Use
  1. Clean and dry the wound and peri‑wound skin thoroughly.
  2. Cut dressing to size, ensuring at least 2 cm overlap of dry skin.
  3. Apply Safetac® side directly to wound bed.
  4. Cover with suitable secondary dressing; fixation may be needed.
  5. Leave in place up to 7 days (or per clinical protocol), replacing only if saturated or loosened.
Who It’s For
  • Clinicians managing low-to-medium exuding wounds—pressure and leg ulcers, burns, surgical or traumatic wounds
  • Patients with fragile, sensitive, or radiated skin where atraumatic removal matters
  • Use in compression bandaging strategies or negative pressure therapy settings
Caution & Storage
  • Single-use sterile product—do not reuse or re-sterilize.
  • Do not use if packaging is damaged or beyond expiry.
  • Check wound regularly—signs of infection (increased odor, redness, pain) require clinical review.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
