When to use Mepilex Heel

Mepilex Heel is an absorbent heel dressing – designed for a wide range of low to medium exuding wounds. Whether applied to the heel or malleolus, Mepilex Heel effectively absorbs, which minimises the risk of maceration^{1, 4, 5}. With its Safetac® interface, Mepilex Heel can be removed with minimal risk of trauma to the wound or surrounding skin^1-  4. Safetac also prevents Mepilex Heel from sticking to the wound bed yet adheres gently to the surrounding skin allowing easy application of secondary fixation^{3, 5}. When necessary, secure Mepilex Heel with Tubifast® fixation.
