Mepilex Heel Ag is an absorbent heel dressing – designed for a wide range of low to moderately exuding wounds that show signs of infection. Whether applied to the heel or malleolus, Mepilex Heel absorbs exudates effectively and ensures a low risk of maceration. To further enhance protection against infections the Mepilex Heel Ag also provides an anti-microbial activity, with silver technology. Mepilex Heel Ag inactivates wound related pathogens within 30 minutes with sustained effect up to 7 days^4,5,6,7. By reducing the number of microorganisms, Mepilex Heel Ag may also reduce odour⁸. This makes it suitable for wounds on the heel when there are signs of infection. With the Safetac® technology adhesive, Mepilex Heel Ag can be removed with less risk of trauma to the wound or surrounding skin. The Safetac technology also prevents Mepilex Heel Ag from sticking to the wound bed yet adheres gently to the surrounding skin allowing easy application of secondary fixation. When necessary, secure Mepilex Heel Ag with Tubifast Fixation
