Mepilex® XT Sterile Foam Dressing – 20cm x 20cm (Box of 5)
Highly Conformable Non-Bordered Foam Dressing for Low to High Viscosity Exudate
Mepilex® XT is a sterile, non-bordered soft silicone foam dressing designed to manage a wide range of exuding acute and chronic wounds. Engineered with integrated exudate channels, it efficiently absorbs and distributes both low- and high-viscosity exudate while maintaining a moist wound environment and reducing the risk of maceration. The Safetac® wound contact layer minimises pain and trauma during dressing changes, protecting both the wound bed and surrounding skin. The large 20cm x 20cm size is ideal for extensive wounds or areas requiring broader coverage.
