Mepilex Lite Polyurethane Foam Dressing 10x10 Cm 5 Pieces

Mepilex Lite product CE. A thin, highly conformable foam dressing that absorbs exudate and keeps the wound moist. The Safetac layer adheres to the edges of the wound, preventing exudates from escaping onto the periwound skin, thus minimizing the risk of maceration. Safetac layer ensures atraumatic dressing changes. Mepilex Lite can be cut to fit wounds of various shapes and locations. The dressing consists of:
• a soft silicone wound contact layer (Safetac)
• a thin absorbent pad in polyurethane foam
• a breathable but waterproof outer film.

How to use
Clean the wound according to normal procedures. Dry the periwound area thoroughly. Remove the protective films and apply the adhesive side to the wound. Do not pull on the dressing during application. For best results, Mepilex Lite must cover at least 2 cm of healthy skin on the perimeter of the wound. If necessary, cut the product. If necessary, fix Mepilex Lite with a bandage or other system.
Mepilex Lite can be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the condition of the wound and the surrounding area and in accordance with the directions of the healthcare professional. A change in wound treatment often results in an increase in exudate levels. Carefully monitor the condition of the wound and increase the frequency of changes.
