Description
Mepilex Lite
Description
CE Medical Device. A thin, highly conformable foam dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac layer adheres to the wound edges, preventing exudates from leaking onto the surrounding skin, thus minimising the risk of maceration. The Safetac layer ensures atraumatic dressing changes. Mepilex Lite can be cut to fit various wound shapes and locations. The dressing consists of:
• a wound contact layer made of soft silicone (Safetac)
• a thin absorbent pad made of polyurethane foam
• a breathable, yet waterproof, external film.
How to use
Clean the wound according to normal procedures. Dry the surrounding area thoroughly. Remove the protective films and apply the adhesive side to the wound. Do not pull the dressing during application. For best results, Mepilex Lite should cover at least 2 cm of healthy skin around the wound. If necessary, trim the product. If necessary, secure Mepilex Lite with a bandage or other system.
Mepilex Lite may be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the condition of the wound and surrounding area and in accordance with the advice of your healthcare professional. A change in wound care is often accompanied by an increase in exudate levels. Carefully monitor the condition of the wound and increase the frequency of changes.
Characteristics
• Minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes.
• Remains in place, facilitating the application of compression, containment or fixing bandages.
• Promotes patient comfort; it is thin and very comfortable to wear.
• It does not need to be removed during radiotherapy when using commonly applied energy ranges and doses.
• Particularly suitable for use under elastic compression bandages.
• Can be cut to fit various shaped wounds and difficult to dress areas.
• It can be left in place for several days depending on the condition of the wound.
• Can be lifted and repositioned without losing its adhesion properties.
• Low risk of skin irritation and allergies.
Warnings
In case of infection, consult your doctor. Do not use Mepilex Lite if you use substances containing oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide solutions. Do not use the product if the packaging is not intact. Sterility is guaranteed only if the packaging is intact. Single use product. Do not resterilize.
Conservation
Store below 35°C, in a dry place. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
