Product information "Mepilex® Ag foam dressing with Safetac® technology 10 x 10 cm"
Mepilex® Ag with Safetac® technology is an antimicrobial, soft, silicone-coated foam dressing for the treatment of light to moderately exuding wounds, such as leg and foot ulcers and superficial burns.
Mepilex Ag consists of:
- a Safetac® wound contact layer,
- a flexible grey absorbent polyurethane foam containing a silver compound and activated charcoal,
- a water vapour permeable and water resistant outer film.
Mepilex Ag contains silver sulphate, which releases silver ions to form an effective barrier against bacteria and inactivate many wound-specific pathogens (bacteria and fungi). This has been proven in in-vitro studies. By reducing the number of microorganisms, Mepilex Ag also reduces odour.
In addition, in vitro studies have shown that Mepilex Ag inactivates wound-specific pathogens within 7 days. Safetac is a unique silicone adhesive technology that reduces pain for patients and minimises trauma to the wound and intact skin.
Properties
- Mepilex Ag is a highly conformable dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment.
- As Mepilex Ag maintains a moist wound environment, the wound may initially become larger during supportive debridement. This is normal and should be expected.
Fields of application
- Mepilex Ag is an antimicrobial, soft silicone-coated foam dressing for the treatment of light to moderately exuding wounds, such as leg and foot ulcers and superficial burns.
- Mepilex Ag can be used on infected wounds as part of a holistic treatment concept under the supervision of healthcare professionals.
- Mepilex Ag can be used under compression.

Foam dressing
Directions for use
Please note that local hygiene measures must be observed before and during dressing changes.
- Clean the wound according to medical standards with saline solution or water.
- Dry the skin surrounding the wound thoroughly.
- Remove the protective film and apply the dressing with the adhesive side to the wound. Do not overstretch the dressing.
- For best results, Mepilex Ag should overlap the dry, wound-surrounding skin by at least 1 - 2 cm for smaller wounds (up to approx. 12.5 x 12.5 cm) and by 5 cm for larger wounds in order to protect the wound-surrounding skin from maceration and wound friction and to hold the dressing securely in place. If necessary, Mepilex Ag can be cut to the appropriate wound size.
- If necessary, Mepilex Ag can be fixed with a dressing.
Mepilex Ag is intended for short-term use of up to 4 weeks. For long-term treatment, a clinical assessment by a doctor is recommended.
Advice:
- Mepilex Ag should be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
- Do not use in patients with a known hypersensitivity to silver.
- Physicians/healthcare professionals should note that there is very limited data available on long-term and repeated use of silver-containing dressings, particularly for children and neonates.
