	ÂÂÂÂ	Clean the wound area. Cut for customization, if desired. Remove the larger release film.

	ÂÂÂÂ	Hold Mepilex securely in place with a light bandage or other dressing retention method (e.g., Tubigrip , Tubifast , etc.)

 

How Mepilex Soft Foam Dressing works?

• Mepilex minimizes both trauma to the wound and pain to the patient during dressing changes.
• The Safetac layer prevents Mepilex from sticking to the moist wound bed yet it adheres gently to the surrounding skin.
• The gentle adhesion frees both hands for easy application of secondary fixation. Mepilex absorbs effectively and ensures a low risk of maceration
