Mepilex Ag Antimicrobial Foam Dressing 20x20

Mepilex Ag Antimicrobial Foam Dressing with Safetac Technology

Mepilex Ag is a soft, highly conformable antimicrobial foam dressing that combines advanced silver technology with Mölnlycke's proprietary Safetac soft silicone layer. Designed for effective wound management with minimal patient trauma.

Dual Technology System:

• Silver sulfate antimicrobial action: Inactivates wound-related pathogens within 30 minutes with sustained effect up to 7 days
• Safetac technology layer: Seals wound edges and allows atraumatic, pain-free dressing changes

Key Features:

• Highly conformable grey polyurethane foam with activated carbon
• Absorbs and retains exudate effectively
• Maintains optimal moist wound environment
• Prevents exudate leakage onto surrounding skin, minimizing maceration risk
• Reduces wound-related odor by controlling microorganisms
• Breathable and waterproof film backing
• Can be changed without damaging wound bed or surrounding skin
• Minimizes pain during dressing removal

Antimicrobial Efficacy: Broad-spectrum action against bacteria and fungi. Clinical studies demonstrate effectiveness in managing wound bioburden and resolving signs of localized infection in both acute and chronic wounds.
