Mepilex Transfer – Foam Exudate Transfer Dressing

Mepilex Transfer is thin and conformable for even the most difficult to dress wounds. With a Safetac technology layer, this dressing allows for direct contact to the wound and the surround skin by sealing around the wound edges. This prevents exudate from leaking  onto the surrounding skin from the secondary absorbent pad. Vertical exudate movement can be achieved even when Mepilex Transfer has been applied to uneven surfaces. Establishing a moist wound environment combined with an appropriate secondary dressing makes Mepilex Transfer the perfect solution to a variety of wound types and conditions. 

When to use Mepilex Transfer
Mepilex Transfer is designed for a wide range of exuding wounds, and difficult-to-dress wounds. It can also be used as a protective layer on non-exuding wounds and/or large areas of fragile skin. Mepilex Transfer draws exudate from the wound, moving it to a secondary absorbent pad.
