Mepilex Ag Foam Dressing

Description

Mepilex Ag is a foam dressing for medium exuding chronic or acute wounds like venous leg ulcers or burns, where an antimicrobial action is indicated. According to a recent international experts consensus, antimicrobial action is indicated to help reduce bioburden in infected wounds and to act as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection. Infected wounds are painful wounds that need the best of treatment. Mepilex Ag is a dressing with Safetac technology, and therefore proven to minimize pain and skin damage at dressing changes. Mepilex Ag is clinically proven to heal burns faster and with less pain and cost compared to silver sulfadiazine.

• Minimizes pain at dressing changes
• Rapid and sustained antimicrobial activity
• Gentle adherence, conformable and soft
• Does not slip under dressing retention and can be cut to size

Use Mepilex Ag:
• To obtain a rapid (after 30 minutes) and sustained (for 7 days) effective antimicrobial effect
• To combine antimicrobial action to a less painful and less stressful care for your patients

When to Use:
Mepilex Ag is a soft and highly conformable anti-microbial foam dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac technology layer seals the wound edges, preventing the exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, thus minimising the risk for maceration. The Safetac technology layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain. Mepilex Ag can be used under compression bandages.
