Mepilex Transfer Ag 10x12.5cm Box 5 394100

Product Description

Mepilex Transfer Ag is an advanced antimicrobial soft silicone wound contact layer designed for a wide range of exuding wounds. This versatile dressing, brought to you by Molnlycke, combines the renowned Safetac technology with the powerful antimicrobial action of silver sulfate.

It provides gentle adhesion, ensuring minimal pain and trauma during dressing changes, making it ideal for patients with fragile skin. The thin and conformable design allows for easy application to various body contours, effectively transferring exudate to a secondary absorbent dressing while maintaining a moist wound healing environment.

Benefits of Use

• Minimizes pain and trauma to the wound and surrounding skin upon removal due to Safetac technology.
• Provides rapid and sustained antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of wound-related pathogens (bacteria and fungi) through silver sulfate.
• Maintains an optimal moist wound healing environment.
• Highly conformable and thin, making it comfortable for the patient and suitable for various wound locations.
• Transfers exudate efficiently to a secondary dressing, preventing maceration.
• Can remain in place for several days depending on the wound condition and exudate level.

How to Use

1. Cleanse the wound area thoroughly according to clinical practice.
2. Select an appropriate size of Mepilex Transfer Ag to ensure it overlaps the wound margins by at least 2 cm.
3. Remove the protective release liners.
4. Apply the adhesive (Safetac) side of the dressing to the wound surface.
5. Secure Mepilex Transfer Ag with a suitable secondary absorbent dressing (e.g., Mepilex Border, Mesorb) and fixation (e.g., retention bandage or tape).
6. The dressing change frequency depends on the wound condition, exudate level, and clinical assessment, but it can typically remain for several days.
