MEPILEX Absorbent Soft-Silicone Foam Dressing
MEPILEX Absorbent Soft-Silicone Foam Dressing is a soft and highly conformable foam dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac technology prevents Mepilex from sticking to the wound bed yet adheres gently to the surrounding skin allowing easy application of secondary fixation. In addition, the Safetac layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or subjecting the patient to additional pain. Mepilex absorbs exudate effectively and ensures a low risk of maceration.

Is the adhesive Latex free?
Asked on Jun 3, 2013 7:56:19 AM by Lilly from Ohio
A:
If the wound is weepy or oozing, apply sticky side (no latex) without ointment to absorb wetness. When the wound was dry, I applied Aloe Vesta 3 to the area and then cover. I check every two days, clean with Aloe Vesta 1, reapply Aloe Vesta 3 and then use the same dressing for a second two days. I was told to frame the outer edge with wide "2" Gentle paper tape so the Mepilex does not move. Working great!
