Frequently asked questions

Is Mepilex Transfer removal gentle?

Yes, the Mepilex Transfer dressing is specifically designed for gentle removal thanks to the proprietary Safetac technology.

This specialized soft silicone contact layer is engineered for superior patient comfort and wound protection:

  • Gentle Adhesion: Safetac adheres securely to the intact skin around the wound without sticking to the moist wound bed itself.
  • Minimizes Trauma: It is designed to minimize trauma and pain during dressing changes, reducing the risk of skin stripping.
  • Exudate Management: While providing a gentle interface, the dressing’s primary function remains the effective transfer of wound exudate away from the wound bed, supporting optimal healing.
Is Mepilex Transfer effective for exudate management?

Yes, the Mepilex Transfer is specifically engineered as an exudate transfer dressing to manage wound fluid effectively while prioritizing patient comfort.

The dressing utilizes patented Safetac technology to deliver superior performance and gentle care:

  • Efficient Exudate Transfer: The dressing is designed to optimize the wound environment by efficiently moving moisture and wound exudate away from the wound bed.
  • Atraumatic Removal: The Safetac layer ensures gentle application and removal, significantly minimizing pain and trauma to the wound and surrounding skin during dressing changes.
  • Material: It is constructed from a high-quality Silicone Soft Transfer Foam Dressing.
Is this a soft transfer foam dressing?

Yes, the Mepilex Transfer is specifically classified as a Silicone Soft Transfer Foam Dressing.

This specialized construction is designed for gentle yet effective wound management, focusing on two key benefits:

  • Exudate Transfer Capability: The foam efficiently manages wound exudate, moving moisture away from the wound bed.
  • Safetac Technology: The dressing incorporates proprietary Safetac technology, an advanced silicone adhesive that minimizes pain and reduces trauma to the wound and surrounding skin during application and removal.
What size and packaging configurations exist?

The Mepilex Transfer dressing, known for its gentle Safetac technology for atraumatic removal, is available in two distinct size and packaging configurations:

  • 6” x 8” Dressing: Comes packaged with 5 dressings per box. Cases include 8 boxes (40 total dressings).
  • 8” x 20” Dressing: This larger format includes 4 dressings per box. Cases include 6 boxes (24 total dressings).
What are the available Mepilex Transfer sizes?

The Mepilex Transfer dressing is available in two sizes designed for clinical use and effective exudate management, bundled in specific case quantities:

  • 6” x 8” Dressing: This configuration includes 5 dressings per box, with 8 boxes per case, totaling 40 dressings.
  • 8” x 20” Dressing: This larger size includes 4 dressings per box, with 6 boxes per case, totaling 24 dressings.
Is a secondary dressing required with Mepilex Transfer?

Yes, as an exudate transfer dressing, Mepilex Transfer is specifically designed to move wound fluids away from the wound bed.

Therefore, it requires a secondary absorbent dressing to effectively manage and hold the transferred exudate.

A key benefit is its use of Safetac technology, which ensures gentle application and removal, minimizing trauma to the skin even when paired with a secondary fixation or absorbent dressing.

Does Safetac technology ensure gentle removal?

Yes, the Mepilex Transfer dressing incorporates Safetac technology, a proprietary silicone soft transfer foam specifically engineered for gentle wound management and removal.

This advanced technology offers several key benefits:

  • Minimized Trauma: Safetac adheres softly to the surrounding intact skin but avoids sticking to the moist wound bed. This ensures that application and removal cause minimal trauma to the wound site and delicate periwound skin.
  • Gentle Removal: By reducing adhesion to the wound, Safetac helps to minimize pain associated with dressing changes, significantly enhancing patient comfort.
  • Effective Transfer: The primary function of this product is as an exudate transfer dressing, efficiently moving wound fluid away from the area while maintaining the benefits of the gentle silicone contact layer.
Is this an effective exudate transfer dressing?

Yes, the Mepilex Transfer is specifically designed as an exudate transfer dressing to effectively manage wound fluids.

This specialized Silicone Soft Transfer Foam dressing is engineered to efficiently move exudate away from the wound bed, helping to maintain an optimal moisture balance that supports the healing process.

A key feature of this product is the proprietary Safetac technology:

  • Minimizes Pain: The silicone adhesive is gentle, designed to minimize pain for the patient upon removal.
  • Reduces Trauma: It adheres gently to the surrounding skin without sticking to the moist wound surface, which helps minimize trauma to the wound bed during dressing changes.
Does Mepilex Transfer use Safetac technology?

Yes, the Mepilex Transfer is specifically engineered with Molnlycke’s proprietary Safetac technology.

This core silicone adhesive technology provides superior patient comfort and ensures wound integrity:

  • Minimized Pain: The gentle adhesion significantly reduces pain and discomfort when the dressing is applied or removed.
  • Reduced Trauma: It adheres softly to the surrounding skin but avoids sticking to the moist wound bed, which helps prevent skin stripping and damage to fragile periwound tissue.
  • Effective Exudate Management: While prioritizing atraumatic removal, Safetac technology also supports the dressing’s primary function as an exudate transfer layer, efficiently moving moisture away from the wound site.
Does Mepilex Transfer effectively manage wound exudate?

Yes, the Mepilex Transfer is specifically engineered as a specialized Silicone Soft Transfer Foam Dressing designed for highly effective fluid management.

Its superior performance is driven by two key characteristics:

  • Exudate Transfer: The dressing is designed to actively move wound fluid away from the wound bed, helping to optimize the healing environment.
  • Safetac Technology: This patented proprietary contact layer ensures atraumatic dressing changes. It adheres gently to the surrounding skin, minimizing pain and skin stripping upon removal while preventing the dressing from sticking to the wound surface itself.
