Mepilex® Lite is a thin and highly conformable foam dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment.

The Safetac layer ensures atraumatic dressing changes. Mepilex® Lite can be cut to suit various wound shapes and locations.
Minimizes pain and trauma at dressing changes.

Promotes patient comfort; thin and very comfortable to wear.
Well suited to be used under compression bandages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is foam dressing used for?

A: Foam dressings are used for moderate to heavily exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, post-surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, and traumatic wounds. They absorb fluid, protect the wound, and support healing.

Q: How often should foam dressings be changed?

A: Foam dressings are typically changed every 3 to 7 days or as needed depending on the amount of exudate. Always follow the wound care professional’s recommendations.

Q: How do foam dressings work?

A: Foam dressings absorb exudate while keeping the wound moist. They help prevent infection, reduce pain, and protect the wound from external contaminants.

Q: Can foam dressings be used on infected wounds?

A: Some foam dressings are formulated with antimicrobial agents suitable for infected wounds. Always consult with a healthcare provider before applying to an infected site.

Q: Are foam dressings suitable for dry wounds?

A: Foam dressings are typically not recommended for dry wounds because they are designed to absorb moisture. Hydrogel dressings may be more appropriate for dry or necrotic wounds.

Q: Do foam dressings stick to wounds?

A: Non-adherent foam dressings do not stick to wounds and are gentle during removal. Adhesive foam dressings stick around the wound, not directly on it.
