Mepilex Heel Soft Silicone Foam Dressing 13cm x 20cm
Mepilex Heel is a soft silicone foam dressing specially shaped to conform around the heel and malleolus. Its flexible design provides comfortable coverage for areas that can be difficult to dress with standard rectangular wound dressings.
The absorbent foam layer manages wound exudate while helping maintain a moist wound-healing environment. Mepilex Heel incorporates Mölnlycke's Safetac® soft silicone contact layer, which gently adheres to the surrounding skin without sticking to the moist wound bed. This helps minimise pain and reduce the risk of damage to fragile skin during dressing changes.
