How to use Mepilex XT
Watch how you easily apply our Mepilex XT dressing foam for exuding wounds.
Cleanse the wound in accordance with clinical practice. Dry the surrounding skin thoroughly. Select an appropriate dressing size. The dressing should cover the dry surrounding skin by at least 1-2 cm for small sizes (sizes up to 12.5x12.5 cm) and 3-5 cm for large sizes. If required, the dressing may be cut to suit various wound shapes and locations. Remove the first release film
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.
