Mepilex® Transfer Ag is an antimicrobial exudate transfer layer designed to allow exudate to transfer to a secondary dressing. You can use it to treat exuding burns and chronic and acute wounds.

The antimicrobial action reduces bioburden in the wound. Mepilex Transfer Ag has been shown to inactivate wound relevant pathogens (bacteria and fungi) from within 30 minutes up to 14 days, as shown in vitro.1 An international consensus states that an antimicrobial action is indicated to help reduce bioburden in infected wounds1And acts as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection1

Mepilex Transfer Ag adheres gently with Safetac® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. So your patients experience less pain during dressing changes.2-6

  • Less painful dressing changes2-6
