Mepilex Medic As 15X15Cm 5Pz

Description
Foam dressing with a soft silicone contact layer.
Mepilex is a highly conformable dressing that absorbs exudate, maintains a moist environment, and minimizes the risk of maceration. The dressing features a contact layer based on the exclusive Safetac technology, which minimizes patient pain and trauma to the lesion and surrounding skin upon removal.
Mepilex is indicated for a wide range of exudative wounds such as lower limb ulcers, pressure ulcers, and traumatic injuries, such as skin lacerations and secondary surgical wounds. Mepilex can be used to protect damaged and/or delicate skin and can also be used as part of a protocol for preventing skin injuries, such as pressure ulcers.

How to use
Mepilex can be used by untrained persons under healthcare supervision.
1. Clean the wound according to standard clinical protocols.
2. Carefully dry the perilesional skin.
3. Select the appropriate dressing size. Mepilex should cover the perilesional skin for at least 1-2 cm for small sizes (up to 12.5 x 12.5 cm).
and for at least 3-5 cm for larger sizes, to protect the perilesional skin from maceration and to secure the dressing safely.
If necessary, Mepilex can be cut to size to fit different shapes and anatomical areas.
4. Remove the first protective film and apply the adhesive side to the wound.
5. Remove the remaining film and smooth the dressing onto the skin.
Do not stretch the dressing.
6. When needed, secure Mepilex with a bandage or other fastening method.
The dressing can be changed after several days. Replace the dressing before it becomes fully saturated, in case of leaks, or as directed by the clinical protocol.
Mepilex can be used under compression bandages and in conjunction with gels.
Disposal should be carried out in accordance with local environmental protection procedures.
