Overview
Mepilex® XT foam dressing is designed for moderate exuding wounds. It handles more fluid and absorbs fluid faster than other foam dressings. It's conformable and versatile – you can use it to treat wounds with normal and viscous fluids, during any exuding wound healing stages. Mepilex XT includes our Safetac® wound contact layer. Safetac protects new tissue and intact skin – so wounds remain undisturbed to support faster natural healing. And it seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leakage and maceration.
