Molnlycke Mepilex Transfer Ag

The body heals a wound and a dressing can either disturb or support healing. Mepilex® Transfer Ag with Safetac® is a "multi-benefit" transfer dressing designed for low-to-high exuding wounds and with the patient in mind. Dressings with a Safetac interface are clinically proven to minimize stress and pain for the patient. Mepilex Transfer Ag effectively transfers exudate to a second layer while preventing microbial growth. It all adds up to undisturbed healing.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

• low to high exudating wounds

• difficult-to-dress areas

• traumatic wounds

• partial thickness burn

• donor sites (surgical wounds)

• foot and leg ulcers

• pressure ulcers and malignant wounds

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

1. Cleanse the wound and dry the surrounding skin thoroughly. If needed, cut Mepilex® Transfer Ag to appropriate size or shape.

2. Remove the release film, and apply the adherent side to the wound allowing at least 2-5 cm overlap on dry skin. Do not stretch. Smooth.

3. Apply a secondary layer that is appropriate for the exudate level (e.g. Mextra® Superabsorbent or Mesorb®). Overlap the edges of Mepilex® Transfer Ag.

4. Use an appropriate fixation to hold the dressings in place, (e.g. TubifastTM).
