The unique proprietary Safetac technology of Molnlycke resides closest to the skin. It has been proven to minimize pain to patients during dressing changes and does not cause skin reactions.

Mepilex Safetac Technology

  • Molnlycke dressing drastically reduces both the pain and tissue damage in wound management
  • Without the trauma of maceration and skin-stripping, the healing process is accelerated
  • Mepilex medicated wound dressing does not adhere to the moist wound bed, but only to dry skin
  • Adheres gently to the surrounding skin for easy application of secondary fixation
  • Seals the wound margins and reduces the risk of maceration
  • For pressure ulcer prevention, its elasticity dissipates shear forces and provides assistance with the dressing after skin assessment
