Frequently Asked Questions

What is the role of silver in Mepilex Ag dressings?

Silver provides antimicrobial protection by reducing bioburden in the wound, helping prevent infection and supporting healing in contaminated or high-risk wounds.

Does Mepilex Ag stick to the wound itself?

How often should Mepilex Ag 6x6 be changed?

Dressing change frequency depends on exudate levels and infection status, but typically every 1 to 3 days. Follow clinician guidance for optimal results.

Is this dressing suitable for diabetic foot ulcers?

Yes, it’s commonly used for diabetic foot ulcers with moderate to heavy exudate and signs of infection, offering both absorption and antimicrobial action.
