Mepilex Ag Dressing (15cm x 15cm)

Mepilex Ag (15cm x 15cm) by Molnlycke is an antimicrobial soft silicone foam dressing.

Mepilex Ag Dressing consists of a Safetac® wound contact layer, a flexible absorbent pad of grey polyurethane foam containing silver sulphate and coloured by activated carbon, and a breathable and waterproof film.

Safetac® is a proprietary adhesive technology developed by Mölnlycke that minimises pain to patients and trauma to intact skin or wounds.

Mepilex Ag (15cm x 15cm) is a highly conformable dressing that absorbs exudate, maintains a moist wound healing environment and has antimicrobial properties.

Mepilex Ag contains silver sulphate (1.2 mg Ag/cm2) to create an effective bacterial barrier and inactivate a wide range of wound-related pathogens (bacteria and fungi), as shown in vitro. By reducing the number of micro-organisms, Mepilex Ag may also reduce odour.
