Mepilex® XT Foam Dressing is specifically designed to treat wounds with moderate exudate. This dressing is able to manage more exudate and absorb it more quickly compared to other foam dressings. It is also comfortable and versatile, which means it can be used to treat wounds with normal or viscous exudate, regardless of the stage of wound healing. Mepilex XT includes our Safetac® Wound Contact Foil, which is clinically proven to minimise damage to both the wound and skin upon dressing removal. By sealing the wound edges, these dressings help prevent maceration. By reducing damage to the wound and skin, pain during dressing changes is also minimised. This dressing is able to manage a greater amount of exudate compared to other foam dressings. In addition, its ability to absorb exudate is faster. It can be used at any stage of wound healing with exudate, regardless of the type of exudate present, even if it is viscous. In addition, Mepilex XT dressing allows for longer wear time, which means that fewer dressing changes will be needed. This not only improves its effectiveness, but can also reduce the overall cost of treatment.
