Mepilex AG Antimicrobial Foam Dressings with Silver

Less painful dressing changes and effective, absorbing antibacterial action in one

Mepilex Ag goes to work quickly, inactivating wound pathogens within 30 minutes and for up to 7 days. At dressing removal, Mepilex Ag does not stick to the wound or strip surrounding skin, minimizing patient pain and wound trauma.
