Description

• Highly conformable foam dressing with integrated exudate channels that

absorbs both low and high viscous exudates- so you can use it at any exuding wound-healing stage

• Safetac® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion which minimises pain and trauma at dressing changes

• Handles more fluid than other foam dressings

• Absorbs fluid faster than other foam dressings

• Supports longer wear times, leading to fewer dressing changes, better compliance and lower overall cost of care

Ingredients

Silicone, polyurethane

Directions

Cleanse the wound in accordance with normal procedures. Dry the surrounding skin thoroughly. Remove the release films and apply the adherent side to the wound. Do not stretch the dressing. When necessary, fixate the dressing with a bandage or other fixation.

The dressing change interval may be several days. Change the dressing before it is fully saturated, at signs of leakage, or as indicated by clinical practise.

Mepilex XT can be used under compression bandaging and in combination with gels. Disposal should be handled according to local environment procedures.

Advice

Do not use on patient with known hypersensitivity to the dressing or its materials. Do not use together with oxidising agents such as hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide. If you see signs of clinical infection e.g. fever or if the wound or surrounding skin becomes red, warm or swollen, consult a health care professional for appropriate treatment.

Please take extra care when considering use on highly sensitive skin/tissue e.g. on patients with diagnosed Epidermolysis Bullosa. The unique surface of the wound pad could put additional stress on the wound bed and surrounding skin.

Please consider using another Safetac product. Do not reuse, if reused performance of the product may deteriorate, cross contamination may occur. Sterile.

Do not use if sterile barrier is damaged or opened prior to use. Do not re-sterilise.
