Mepilex Ag Dressing 10cm x 20cm

Mepilex Ag (10cm x 20cm) 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 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. Mepilex Ag silver foam dressing has also been shown to inactivate wound-related pathogens up to 7 days in vitro.
Mepilex Ag can inactivate wound relevant pathogens (bacteria and fungi) within 3 hours, as shown in vitro and acts as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection.
The Mepilex Ag dressing includes Safetac® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. That means less pain for your patients during dressing changes
