Mepilex Ag Silver Dressing

Mepilex Ag from Molnlycke is an antimicrobial soft silicone foam dressing for infected wounds, or wounds at risk of infection, that carry low to moderate amounts of wound fluid. It is designed for use on wounds such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure injuries and partial-thickness burns. The dressing combines a Safetac soft silicone wound contact layer with an absorbent polyurethane foam pad that holds silver sulphate, so it manages exudate while the silver works against microbes in the dressing.

The silver component is designed to provide a rapid antimicrobial effect that begins within 30 minutes and sustained protection for up to seven days, depending on the wound and how much fluid it produces. The Safetac contact layer is intended to ease removal at dressing changes. The foam conforms to the body, which suits wounds that are difficult to dress.
