Mepilex is a soft and highly conformable foam dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac technology prevents Mepilex from sticking to the wound bed yet adheres gently to the surrounding skin allowing easy application of secondary fixation. In addition, the Safetac layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or subjecting the patient to additional pain. Mepilex absorbs exudate effectively and ensures a low risk of maceration.
These were great for burns after radiation treatment.

Comments about Mepilex Soft Silicone Foam Dressing, 5 ea:
After breast cancer radiation treatment, I suffered from terrible radiation burns on my breast. I had bad blistering and oozing. This dressing drew out the exudate, promoting faster healing and comfort. It relieved pain and promoted comfort. I would recommend to anyone suffering from burns resulting from medical radiation treatment. It was a life saver.
