Product Overview: Mepilex Lite Soft Silicone Foam Dressing 15x15 cm

Mepilex Lite 15x15 cm is a highly adaptable and gentle thin foam dressing designed for the effective management of low-exuding wounds.

Engineered with Molnlycke's proprietary Safetac technology, this dressing ensures remarkably gentle adhesion to the surrounding skin, minimizing trauma to the wound bed and periwound skin upon removal.

This advanced technology guarantees a virtually pain-free dressing change experience, making it an ideal choice for patients with sensitive or fragile skin, as well as for use in difficult-to-dress anatomical areas.

Mepilex Lite actively promotes an optimal moist wound healing environment, which is crucial for faster and more efficient recovery.

Its soft, conformable nature allows it to comfortably fit various body contours, providing continuous patient comfort and protection.

Benefits of Use:

• Minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes due to Safetac technology.


• Provides gentle adhesion, protecting fragile periwound skin.


• Conforms excellently to body contours, offering superior comfort and flexibility.


• Maintains an optimal moist wound environment, supporting natural healing processes.


• Suitable for a wide range of low-exuding wounds, including leg and foot ulcers, pressure injuries, and traumatic wounds.


• Can be repositioned without losing its adhesive properties, allowing for optimal placement.


• Thin and discreet, making it comfortable for daily wear under clothing.

How to Use:

1. **Cleanse the Wound:** Carefully clean the wound area with saline solution or as directed by a healthcare professional.


2. **Dry Periwound Skin:** Gently pat dry the skin around the wound to ensure the dressing adheres properly.


3. **Select Size:** Choose the appropriate Mepilex Lite size (15x15 cm in this case) ensuring it overlaps the wound edges by at least 2 cm.


4. **Remove Release Film:** Peel off the protective release film from the adhesive (Safetac) side of the dressing.


5. **Apply Dressing:** Apply the adhesive side directly to the wound, making sure the dressing covers the entire wound and extends onto the surrounding healthy skin.


6. **Smooth in Place:** Gently smooth the dressing onto the skin to ensure good contact and secure adhesion.


7. **Dressing Change:** Change the dressing frequency as clinically indicated or as advised by your healthcare provider, based on the wound condition and exudate level.
