Molnlycke Mepilex Lite

Mepilex® Lite is a thin foam dressing for low-exuding acute and chronic wounds. Mepilex Lite dressings with Safetac® minimize pain and wound or skin damage at dressing change. Mepilex Lite is very soft and conformable.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

• Foot ulcers

• Radiation skin reactions

• Leg ulcers

• Partial Thickness burns

• Epidermolysis Bullosa

• Pressure ulcers

Mepilex® Lite is intended for wounds with minimal to low exudate. Mepilex® Lite can also be used for protection of compromised or fragile skin. Appropriate for use under compression and in conjunction with hydrogels.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

1. Gently cleanse the wound; dry surrounding skin. (Mepilex® Lite will not adhere to a moist surface.)

2. Choose a dressing size that will allow the Mepilex® Lite dressing to overlap the wound area by 1 to 2 cm. Mepilex® Lite can be cut to size if required.

3. Remove one side of the release film and apply Mepilex® Lite to side of wound. Do not stretch.

Remove remaining release film and gently smooth in place.

4. Border with Mepitac® tape to fixate in place or cover with a non-adhesive fixation product such as Tubifast® 2-Way Stretch or Tubigrip.
