Mepilex Ag is a foam dressing for medium to exuding chronic or acute wounds like venous leg ulcers or burns, where antimicrobial action is indicated.

According to a recent international expert consensus, antimicrobial action is indicated to help reduce bioburden in infected wounds and to act as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection. Infected wounds are painful wounds that need the best of treatment. Mepilex Ag is a dressing with Safetac proven to minimise pain and skin damage at dressing changes. Mepilex Ag is clinically proven to heal burns faster and with less pain and cost compared to silver sulfadiazine.

Does not slip under dressing retention and can be cut to size

When to use Mepilex Ag?

Mepilex Ag is a soft and highly conformable antimicrobial foam dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac layer seals the wound edges, preventing exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, thus minimising the risk for maceration. The Safetac layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain.

Mepilex Ag deactivates wound-related pathogens within 30 minutes with sustained effect up to seven days. By reducing the number of microorganisms, Mepilex Ag may also reduce odour. 

Use Mepilex Ag:

  • When antimicrobial action is indicated: to reduce bioburden in infected wounds
  • When antimicrobial action is indicated: to act as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection
  • To obtain a rapid (after 30 minutes) and sustained (for seven days) effective antimicrobial effect
  • To combine antimicrobial action with less painful and less stressful care for your patients
