Description
CE Medical Device. Thin, highly conformable foam dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac layer adheres to the wound edges, preventing exudate from leaking onto the periwound skin, thus minimizing the risk of maceration. The Safetac layer ensures atraumatic dressing changes. Mepilex Lite can be cut to fit wounds of various shapes and locations. The dressing consists of:
• a soft silicone wound contact layer (Safetac)
• a thin absorbent polyurethane foam pad
• a breathable, yet water-impermeable outer film.

Instructions for use
Clean the wound according to normal procedures. Thoroughly dry the periwound area. Remove the protective films and apply the adhesive side to the wound. Do not stretch the dressing during application. For best results, Mepilex Lite should cover at least 2 cm of healthy skin around the perimeter of the lesion. If necessary, cut the product. If necessary, secure Mepilex Lite with a bandage or other system.
Mepilex Lite can be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the condition of the lesion and the surrounding area and in accordance with the healthcare professional's instructions. A change in wound treatment often corresponds to an increased level of exudate. Carefully monitor the wound condition and increase the frequency of changes.
