When to use Mepilex Heel

Mepilex Heel is an absorbent heel dressing – designed for a wide range of low to medium exuding wounds. Whether applied to the heel or malleolus, Mepilex Heel effectively absorbs, which minimises the risk of maceration          . Dressings with Safetac^® are clinically demonstrated to minimise damage to the wound and skin at removal         . By sealing the wound margins, they help prevent maceration          . With less damage to the wound and skin, pain at dressing change is minimised          . Safetac 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.
