Key Features of Mepilex Transfer Dressings

Description Mepilex Transfer consists of a thin sheet of a hydrophilic open-cell polyurethane foam, coated on one surface with a layer of soft silicone, presented on a plastic film carrier. This soft silicone layer is slightly tacky, which facilitates application and retention of the dressing to intact skin, but does not cause epidermal stripping or pain on removal. The permeable nature of the foam allows exudate or wound fluid to pass through it into a secondary absorbent layer placed on the outer surface. The gentle adhesive bond formed between the foam and the peri-wound, skin tends to inhibit the lateral movement of exudate thus reducing maceration of the surrounding tissue.
