Mepilex transfer is a thin and highly conformable foam wound dressing designed to allow drainage to move from a wound into a secondary absorbent pad and can be used on wounds with low to high amounts of drainage. Mepilex transfer’s flexibility and high conformability is ideal for extremely difficult to dress wounds and locations. This wound dressing adheres to dry skin only and can also be used to protect large areas with fragile skin. Constructed with safety technology, the soft silicone adhesive layer has been shown to reduce pain and trauma to the wound during dressing changes and minimizes the risk of maceration or the break-down of skin resulting from prolonged exposure to moisture from a wound.

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.
