Mepilex Lite Instructions for Use

Listen to Professor Amit Gefen:

Mepilex^® Lite foam dressing is designed to help you manage low-exuding acute and chronic wounds. The thin profile is soft and conformable      , to make it easier to use for difficult-to-dress areas of the body. And you can easily cut it to size  .

Mepilex Lite dressings have been shown to protect fragile skin from external forces, such as friction and pressure resulting from frequent use of medical devices    ^*.

This design includes Safetac^® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. We designed it to mould softly to skin without sticking to the moist wound     – so you can remove it easily without damaging the skin            . That means less pain for your patients                . And it seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leakage and maceration    . Mepilex Lite is clinically proven to manage radiotherapy induced skin reactions               .

• May be used to prevent skin damage under medical devices   
• Minimises pain during dressing changes                   
• Soft and conformable design, for ease of use        
• Minimises the risk of maceration     ^-      
• Can be easily cut to size, for versatility
• Can be used to manage radiotherapy-induced skin reactions    ^-  

* Disclaimer: The prophylactic use of dressings in reducing the risk of medical device related pressure injuries is well reported, however their use under PPE in terms of maintenance of a seal and potential impact on viral transmission has not been tested by Mölnlycke or others to our knowledge.
