When to use Mepilex Heel

Mepilex Heel is an absorbent heel dressing – designed for a wide range of low to medium exuding wounds. Whether applied to the heel or malleolus, Mepilex Heel effectively absorbs, which minimises the risk of maceration   . With its Safetac^® interface, Mepilex Heel can be removed with minimal risk of trauma to the wound or surrounding skin ^-    . Safetac also prevents Mepilex Heel from sticking to the wound bed yet adheres gently to the surrounding skin allowing easy application of secondary fixation  . When necessary, secure Mepilex Heel with Tubifast^® fixation.
