How Mepilex XT works 

Mepilex XT is a soft and conformable foam dressing with integrated channels, designed to transfer exudate rapidly4-6 into the absorbent foam pad. Safetac technology seals the wound edges, preventing exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin, thus minimizing the risk of maceration.2 Safetac technology also allows the dressing to be changed with minimized risk of damaging the wound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain.

Benefits of Mepilex XT 

• Absorbs both low and high viscosity fluid
