MEPILEX XT POLYURETHANE FOAM ABSORBENT DRESSING WITH SILICONE CONTACT LAYER 10 X 10 5 PIECES MEPILEX
Mepilex XT
ABSORBENT POLYURETHANE FOAM DRESSING WITH
EXCLUSIVE CHANNELS
Description
Absorbent polyurethane foam dressing with a soft silicone contact layer with selective micro-adherence.
The product's action determines the control of both low and high viscosity exudates and the maintenance of the ideal moist environment for wound healing.
It absorbs exudates vertically through innovative channels that allow the collection of any type of exudate.
Thanks to the Safetac technology contact layer, it minimizes removal trauma, protects the perilesional skin, thus preventing maceration.
It can be removed and repositioned without losing its selective microadhesion characteristics.
It can be left in situ for several days (up to seven); the length of time may vary according to the condition of the wound and periwound skin or as indicated by usual clinical procedures.
Flexible, conformable and cuttable.
Soft silicone dressing that absorbs both low and high viscosity exudates.
Indicated for a wide range of acute and chronic injuries in all stages of healing such as:
- lower limb ulcers;
- pressure ulcers;
- traumatic injuries (example: skin tears);
- wounds that heal by secondary intention.
The product and packaging are Latex Free
Composition
The composition of the product is as follows:
1) External polyurethane film permeable to water vapour and impermeable to liquids and bacteria.
2) Flexible and absorbent pad made of open-cell polyurethane foam with vertical absorption equipped with innovative channels for the collection of any type of exudate (Figure shown below).
3) Soft silicone layer in contact with the wound (Safetac technology).
How to use
Clean the wound according to usual procedures and allow the periwound skin to dry.
Open the package and remove the protective paper and apply the “Safetac” side of the dressing to the wound. Do not stretch the dressing.
For best results, Mepilex XT should cover the surrounding skin by at least 1-2 cm beyond the wound edges for small sizes (up to 10 x 10 cm) and at least 5 cm for larger sizes, in order to protect the surrounding skin from maceration and abrasion and to secure the dressing securely. If necessary, the product can be cut to size to suit different shapes and anatomical areas.
If necessary, secure with a bandage or other fixing system.
It can be used under compression bandages and in combination with gels.
Initially, it may be necessary to change the dressing more frequently, because a change in treatment may result in an initial increase in exudate.
Maintains the ideal moist environment for healing and promotes wound debridement. Initial enlargement of the wound size may occur. This effect is completely normal.
Warnings
For external use.
If there is sensitization of the treated area or clinical signs of infection, consult your healthcare professional.
Do not use on patients with known sensitivity to the medication or its components.
Do not use with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide.
The polyurethane foam used in the product may change color and turn yellow when exposed to light, air and/or heat. The color change does not affect the properties of the product if used within the expiration date.
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental protection procedures.
Do not use after the expiration date. The properties of the product are not guaranteed if used after the expiration date.
Not reusable. Reusing the product may compromise its effectiveness and cause cross-contamination.
