Mepilex Ag Click to zoom Less painful dressing changes and effective, absorbing antibacterial action in one Mepilex Ag combines the unique features of Safetac technology and exudate management with the bacteria reducing power of silver. Mepilex Ag goes to work quickly, inactivating wound pathogens within 30 minutes and for up to 7 days. At dressing removal, Mepilex Ag does not stick to the wound or strip surrounding skin, minimizing patient pain and wound trauma. Minimizing trauma and pain Mepilex Ag: does not adhere to the moist wound bed eliminates skin stripping seals the wound margins prevents the risk of maceration Reducing bacterial burden Mepilex Ag in action: inactivates wound pathogens within 30 minutes inactivates wound pathogens up to 7 days inactivates a broad range of pathogens, including MRSA Exudate management and other benefits Mepilex Ag features many more important benefits: excellent conformability for better patient comfort, dressing fit and range of motion may be cut to suit various wound sizes, difficult-to-dress areas and around devices such as external fixators good exudate management properties Assortment Product Code Product Name Size Pieces/ box Pieces/ case HCPCS 287100 Mepilex Ag 4" x 4" (10 x 10cm) 5 70 A6209 287200 Mepilex Ag 4" x 8" (10 x 20cm) 5 45 A6210 287300 Mepilex Ag 6" x 6" (15 x 15cm) 5 25 A6210 287400 Mepilex Ag 8" x 8" (20 x 20cm) 5 20 A6211 287500 Mepilex Ag 8" x 20" (20 x 50cm) 2 10 A6211 388390 Mepilex Heel Ag 6'' x 8.8'' (15 x 22cm) 5 30 A6211 Indications Mepilex Ag is an antimicrobial soft silicone foam dressing that is designed for the management of low to moderately exuding wounds such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and partial thickness burns.
