Mepilex Heel Ag (1)

Mepilex Heel Ag is a Molnlycke antimicrobial soft silicone foam dressing supplied in a 13cm x 20cm size for the heel and foot (REF 388100). Read the instructions for use in the pack for how it is applied and removed. The heel and foot is a site that bends and bears weight, so a dressing for it needs to sit on an awkward contour. Exudate is the fluid a wound produces as it heals.

This is a silver dressing, so whether it suits the wound in front of you is a clinical call. Molnlycke supplies it for use under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional, and the instructions for use in the pack carry the full indications, application, change frequency and wear time. Read those before you apply it.

FAD stocks the Molnlycke advanced dressing range alongside competing silver and foam dressings, so the choice is matched to the wound rather than the supplier on hand. If you are unsure whether a silver dressing suits the wound in front of you, call 03 5443 2239 and talk it through with people who handle the range daily.
