Mepilex® Heel Ag is a soft and highly conformable, antimicrobial foam dressing for your heel. It absorbs exudates and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac® layer seals the wound edges, preventing the exudates from leaking onto the surrounding skin, thus minimizing the risk for maceration. The Safetac® layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain.
