Key Features of Mepilex Lite Dressings

Description Mepilex Lite is a conformable absorbent self-adhesive dressing which consists of a thin flexible sheet of absorbent polyurethane foam bonded to a water vapour-permeable polyurethane film backing layer. The wound contact surface of the dressing is coated with a soft silicone adhesive layer which adheres to the peri-wound skin, retaining the dressing in position and providing a moist wound-healing environment. hydrophilic polyurethane foam about four millimetres thick, bonded to a semi-permeable polyurethane film . The foam contains super-absorbent particles imbedded within its structure that enhance the ability of the dressing to absorb and retain a significant amount of wound exudate even when subjected to pressure. In this way the dressing maintains the wound in a moist condition and thus provides a micro-environment that is conducive to healing.
