Frequently asked questions
How long can the Mepilex Ag dressing be left in place?
The wear time depends on the wound condition and exudate level. The dressing should be changed when saturated or according to the healthcare professional's recommendations, generally every 1 to 7 days.
Can Mepilex Ag be used under a compression bandage?
Yes, this dressing is compatible with compression bandages. It is particularly suitable for managing venous leg ulcers requiring therapeutic compression.
How does the silver in Mepilex Ag dressing work?
The silver in the dressing exerts an antimicrobial action by reducing the bacterial load at the wound site. This action helps control local signs of infection and promotes an environment conducive to healing.
