Mepilex Heel is a soft and very conformable foam dressing that absorbs wound fluid (exudate) but keeps your wound sufficiently moist. The dressing is a version of Mepilex that is specifically shaped to fit the heel.
The unique and patented Safetac® adhesive makes sure that your dressing can be changed without damaging your wound or skin around it. This makes the dressing change as pain free as possible and also makes sure that the skin around your wound stays dry and healthy.
