Mepilex Heel Dressing is a dressing designed to treat moderate to highly exuding heel wounds. Its main function is to absorb and retain exudate, maintaining a moist environment and reducing the risk of maceration. This dressing has five heel-specific layers, thanks to Mepilex's patented Deep Defense technology, which helps prevent pressure ulcers. Its new design includes improved positioning tabs with thicker edges, which facilitates dressing application and allows for easier patient recognition. Thanks to Safetac technology, the dressing's first contact layer provides pain reduction and adheres smoothly to the skin without causing discomfort upon removal. It conforms comfortably to the patient's skin and anatomy, which means less pain during the removal process. The benefits of Mepilex Heel Dressings include proven prevention of pressure ulcers, protection against external forces such as pressure, shear and friction.The benefits of Mepilex Heel Dressings include proven prevention of pressure ulcers, protection against external forces such as pressure, shear and friction due to Deep Defense technology, and reduction of pain and risk of maceration due to Safetac technology.
