Mepilex Conformable foam dressing for a wide range of acute and chronic wounds

Mepilex® absorbent foam dressing is trusted globally for treating a wide range of chronic and acute wounds. The dressing is highly absorbent and conformable, designed to effectively manage wound exudate.

Each Mepilex dressing includes Safetac®, the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion, allowing for easy removal without damaging the skin.
