Helps prevent pressure ulcers. This is a Mepilex brand foam dressing, available in a wide range of shapes and sizes. It can be used to treat acute wounds. Its unique five-layer design is clinically proven. The model is 13.5 x 16.5 cm and comes in a box with 16 units. The original silicone contact layer minimizes pain. The absorption layer instantly attracts moisture, thus protecting the skin from maceration. The expansion layer distributes the exudate evenly to maximize the retention surface on the skin. They are designed to adhere to the skin, but not to adhere to the moist wound bed. This process minimizes trauma during removal and reduces pain for patients.
