Mepilex® Heel Ag antimicrobial foam dressing is designed for low- to medium-exuding wounds on the foot and heel – for when you need an antimicrobial action to reduce bioburden in the wound.
Mepilex Heel Ag has been shown to inactivate wound relevant pathogens – bacteria and fungi – within 30 minutes, as shown in vitro. An international consensus states that an antimicrobial action is indicated to help reduce bioburden in infected wounds. And acts as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection.
Mepilex Heel Ag adheres gently with Safetac® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. So your patients experience less pain during dressing changes.
- All the Mepilex Ag benefits in a heel-shaped dressing
- Less painful dressing changes

You can use Mepilex Ag to manage low to moderately exuding wounds located on the heel, such as foot ulcers and pressure ulcers. Mepilex Ag may be used on infected wounds as part of a treatment regimen under supervision of a qualified health care professional.
