Mepilex^® Lite foam dressing is designed to help you manage low-exuding acute and chronic wounds. The thin profile is soft and conformable  ^{1   2   3} , to make it easier to use for difficult-to-dress areas of the body. And you can easily cut it to size  ³ .

Mepilex Lite dressings have been shown to protect fragile skin from external forces, such as friction and pressure resulting from frequent use of medical devices  ^{4   5 *}.

This design includes Safetac^® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. We designed it to mould softly to skin without sticking to the moist wound  ^{6   7}  – so you can remove it easily without damaging the skin  ^{1   2   7   8   9   10} . That means less pain for your patients  ^{3   6   7   9   10   11   12   13} . And it seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leakage and maceration  ^{1   8} . Mepilex Lite is clinically proven to manage radiotherapy induced skin reactions   ^{2   14   15   16   17   18   19} .

* Disclaimer: The prophylactic use of dressings in reducing the risk of medical device related pressure injuries is well reported, however their use under PPE in terms of maintenance of a seal and potential impact on viral transmission has not been tested by Mölnlycke or others to our knowledge.
