When to use Mepilex Heel

Mepilex Heel is an absorbent heel dressing – designed for a wide range of medium to highly exuding wounds. Whether applied to the heel or malleolus, Mepilex Heel effectively absorbs which minimises the risk of maceration. With the Safetac® technology adhesive, Mepilex Heel can be removed with less risk of trauma to the wound or surrounding skin. The Safetac technology also prevents Mepilex Heel from sticking to the wound bed yet adheres gently to the surrounding skin allowing easy application of secondary fixation. When necessary, secure Mepilex Heel with Tubifast Fixation

Use Mepilex Heel:

-          For exuding wounds on the heel or malleolus

-          Pressure ulcers

-          Diabetic foot ulcers

-          Less painful and less stressful care for your patient
