Transfer Dressing With Safetac
How Does Mepilex Transfer Wound Dressing Work?
Mepilex Transfer Silicone Wound Dressing is a thin and highly conformable foam dressing that absorbs exudate and maintains a moist wound healing environment. The Safetac layer seals around the edges of the wound, preventing the exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin thereby minimizing the risk of maceration. As the Safetac layer seals around the wound, the foam structure of Mepilex Transfer allows the exudate to move vertically into a secondary absorbent dressing, maintaining a moist wound environment. The Safetac layer ensures atraumatic dressing changes. Mepilex Transfer can be cut to suit various wound shapes and locations.
When is Mepilex Transfer Antimicrobial Dressing Suitable to Use?
- For medium- to high exuding wounds
- For fungating tumours, Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), donor sites or venous leg ulcers

How To Apply Mepilex Transfer Dressing?
1. Cleanse the wound area and dry the surrounding skin. Remove half of the release film.
2. Apply one side of the dressing allowing Mepilex Transfer to overlap the surrounding skin by at least 5 cm. Remove the remaining release film and smooth it in place.
3. Apply an appropriate cover dressing according to wound exudate level and fixate in place.
Precautions
- Don't use Mepilex Transfer with strong chemicals like bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
- Store it in a dry place below 95°F (35°C) and keep it out of direct sunlight.
- If you think the wound might be infected, talk to a doctor for the right treatment.
- If the package inside is damaged, don't use it. It's only sterile if the package is not broken, and you shouldn't try to sterilize it again.
