Mepilex® XT foam dressing is designed for moderate exuding wounds. It handles more fluid 1 and absorbs fluid faster than other foam dressings. It's conformable and versatile – you can use it to treat wounds with normal and viscous fluids, during any exuding wound healing stages. Mepilex XT includes our Safetac® wound contact layer. Safetac protects new tissue and intact skin – so wounds remain undisturbed to support faster natural healing. And it seals the wound margins to protect skin from damaging leakage and maceration.
- Handles more fluid than other foam dressings
- Absorbs fluid faster than other foam dressings

Mepilex XT is designed for a wide range of acute and chronic exuding wounds in all healing stages, such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and traumatic wounds.
Directions
- Cleanse the wound in accordance with normal procedures. Dry the surrounding skin thoroughly. Remove the release films.
- For best results, Mepilex XT should overlap the dry surrounding skin by at least 1-2 cm for the smaller sizes (sizes up to 12.5 x 12.5 cm) and 5 cm for the larger sizes in order to protect the surrounding skin from maceration and excoriation and fixate the dressing securely. If required, Mepilex XT can be cut to various wound shapes. Do not stretch.
- When necessary, secure Mepilex XT with a bandage or other fixation.
