How does Mepilex Exudate Transfer Dressing work?

Mepilex Transfer with Safetac technology is a thin and conformable dressing. The soft silicone Safetac layer makes direct contact with the wound and the surrounding skin even on irregular surfaces. It seals around the wound margins. The foam structure of Mepilex dressing allows the wound exudate to move vertically into a secondary dressing. When used properly in combination with a secondary dressing, it maintains a moist wound environment.

How to use Molnlycke Mepilex Transfer Dressing?

		1. Clean the wound area. Cut Mepilex Transfer Soft Silicone Exudate Transfer Dressing for customization, if required. Remove the larger release film.
		2. Mepilex Transfer dressing should overlap the wound bed by 1-2 cm in small product sizes and 5 cm in larger sizes onto the surrounding skin. Apply the adherent side to the wound. Remove the shorter-release film and mold the dressing in place. Do not stretch.
		3. Apply an appropriate absorbent secondary dressing over the Mepilex Exudate Transfer dressing and fixate it in place.
