Description
Mepilex Heel is a self-adherent foam dressing engineered specifically for the heel — one of the body’s highest-risk pressure injury sites. The 13 cm x 20 cm dressing features an anatomically pre-shaped design that wraps the contours of the heel without bunching or leaving gaps at the sides, ensuring consistent contact across the wound bed and surrounding tissue. Its Safetac silicone layer holds the dressing securely in place during movement while allowing removal without epidermal stripping, which is critical for patients with fragile or oedematous skin.
