Molnlycke Mepilex Ag Antimicrobial Soft Silicone Foam Dressing

Mepilex Ag is an antimicrobial foam dressing for medium-exuding chronic or acute wounds like venous leg ulcers or burns, where an antimicrobial action is indicated. According to a recent international experts consensus, antimicrobial action is indicated to help reduce bioburden in infected wounds and to act as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection. Infected wounds are painful wounds that need the best treatment. Mepilex Ag is a dressing with Safetac technology, and therefore proven to minimise pain and skin damage at dressing changes. Mepilex Ag is clinically proven to heal burns faster and with less pain and cost compared to silver sulfadiazine.
