Antimicrobial foam dressing for acute and chronic wounds with signs of infection – Mepilex Ag
Mepilex Ag is a foam dressing for medium exuding chronic or acute wounds like venous leg ulcers or burns, where an antimicrobial action is indicated. According to a recent international experts consensus, antimicrobial action is indicated to help reduce bioburden in infected wounds and to act as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection1. Infected wounds are painful wounds that need the best of treatment. Mepilex Ag is a dressing with Safetac® technology, and therefore proven to minimize pain and skin damage at dressing changes2,3. Mepilex Ag is clinically proven to heal burns faster and with less pain and cost compared to silver sulfadiazine4.
- Minimises pain at dressing changes2,3
- Rapid and sustained antimicrobial activity5,6,7,8
- Gentle adherence, conformable and soft9,10
- Does not slip under dressing retention and can be cut to size*
When to use Mepilex Ag
Mepilex Ag is designed for the management of low to moderately exuding wounds that show signs of infection. Mepilex Ag can be used under compression bandaging.
Mepilex Ag is a soft and highly conformable anti microbial foam dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. The Safetac layer seals the wound edges, preventing the exudate to leak onto the surrounding skin, thus minimising the risk for maceration. The Safetac layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain.
Mepilex Ag inactivates wound related pathogens within 30 minutes with sustained effect up to 7 days5,6,7,8. By reducing the number of microorganisms, Mepilex Ag may also reduce odour11.
Use Mepilex Ag:
- When an antimicrobial action is indicated: to reduce bioburden in infected wounds
- When an antimicrobial action is indicated: to act as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection1
- To obtain a rapid (after 30 minutes) and sustained (for 7 days) effective antimicrobial effect7,8
- To combine antimicrobial action to a less painful and less stressful care for your patients1,12
All-in-one foam dressing for pressure ulcers and other chronic and acute wounds

The Safetac® layer seals the wound edges, preventing the exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin which minimises the risk for maceration4. The Safetac® layer ensures that the dressing can be changed without damaging the wound or surrounding skin or exposing the patient to additional pain.
- Mepilex Border is proven to help prevent pressure ulcers when used in addition with the standard pressure ulcers prevention protocols6.
- Safetac® technology minimises pain and trauma at dressing changes
- All-in-one dressing for chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers
- Helps to prevent pressure ulcers
- Offers a combination of excellent fluid handling capacity and retention for effective exudate management with less risk of maceration5
Mepilex Border is an all-in-one foam dressing, designed for a wide range of exuding chronic and acute wounds as well as secondary healing wounds. The soft, conformable dressing maintains a moist wound environment, and effectively absorbs and retains exudates, which gives the wound an optimal environment to healing. A wide range of sizes makes Mepilex Border the solution for small to large wounds- even those located on challenging areas of the body.
Mepilex Border can also be used as part of a prophylactic regimen to help prevent skin damage such as pressure ulcers6. Mepilex Border has been demonstrated to act on four extrinsic factors that can contribute to the development of pressure ulcers: to redistribute shear, redistribute pressure, reduce friction, and to maintain an optimal microclimate7,8,9. Mepilex Border can be repositioned after skin assessment.
Use Mepilex Border:
- For optimal exudate management – excellent fluid handling capacity and excellent retention of fluids
- For chronic wounds like pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers
- To prevent pressure ulcers development
- To maintain a moist wound environment
