Mepilex Ag is a versatile antimicrobial absorbent foam dressing, ideal when antimicrobial action is needed to reduce bioburden in wounds. It is specifically designed for low to moderately exuding burns and wounds. Mepilex Ag can be used for treating leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and partial-thickness burns, and is suitable for use under compression bandaging.

Mepilex Ag may be used on infected wounds as part of a treatment regimen under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. This silver foam dressing has been shown in vitro to inactivate wound-relevant pathogens, including bacteria and fungi, within 30 minutes. An international consensus has indicated that antimicrobial action can help reduce bioburden in infected wounds and serve as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection.

Mepilex Ag gently adheres using Safetac technology, the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion, which minimizes pain during dressing changes.
