Mepilex Transfer Ag is indicated for the management of a wide range of exuding wounds such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, partial thickness burns, traumatic and surgical wounds. Mepilex Transfer Ag can also be used under compression bandaging. Mepilex Transfer Ag contains silver sulfate to act as a preservative to reduce or minimize growth of microorganisms within the dressing. Mepilex Transfer Ag has been shown to inactivate microorganisms for up to 14 days in vitro. Mepilex Transfer Ag consists of: • a Safetac® soft silicone wound contact layer • a compressed polyurethane foam containing silver sulfate colored by activated carbon. Safetac® is a proprietary adhesive technology developed by Mölnlycke that minimizes pain to patients and trauma to intact skin or wounds.
