Mepilex Lite Dressing 10 x 10cm
Thin, absorbent and effective foam pad. Mepilex Lite is a thin, highly adaptable foam dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. It has a Safetac layer sealing around the edges of the wound, preventing exudates from escaping to the surrounding skin, minimizing the risk of maceration. The Safetac layer ensures atraumatic dressing changes. Mepilex Lite can be cut to suit the shape and location of the wound.
