Mepilex Transfer wicks away exudate, maintains a moist environment, and minimizes pain upon removal. Recommended for exudative wounds or fragile skin. Ideal as a complement to a secondary absorbent dressing.
Mepilex Transfer Non-Adhesive Hydrofoam Silicone Dressing offers an advanced solution for the effective transfer of exudate while preserving skin integrity. Thanks to its thin, flexible, and conformable design, this dressing adapts perfectly to the body’s contours, even in anatomically complex areas. Its ability to maintain a moist environment conducive to healing optimizes the natural process of tissue regeneration, while minimizing the risk of maceration. This makes it an essential tool for managing acute or chronic exudative wounds, without causing irritation or discomfort upon removal.
At the heart of the technology is Safetac®, a patented silicone coating applied to the wound-facing side. This unique technology creates an atraumatic interface between the skin and the dressing. Upon removal, Safetac® minimizes pain, leaves no residue on the skin, prevents tissue tearing, and protects newly formed tissue. This enhanced comfort, combined with excellent gentle adhesion, enables a more gentle and less invasive therapeutic experience, particularly for patients with sensitive or fragile skin.
Mepilex Transfer plays a central role in managing heavy exudate by channeling fluid toward an absorbent secondary dressing. This horizontal transfer function helps prevent rapid saturation of the primary dressing and prevents leakage or overflow. It is therefore particularly well-suited for chronic wounds, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, superficial burns, and skin grafts, where fluid management is a key factor for success.
This versatile device can also be used for preventive protection of at-risk areas, particularly on fragile, damaged, or friction-irritated skin. By creating a flexible, non-occlusive, and breathable barrier, it limits mechanical or chemical irritation that could delay healing. Its skin-protective properties make it a strategic option in palliative or geriatric care, where the skin becomes extremely vulnerable.
Its compatibility with other medical devices makes it a strategic choice in both hospital and home care settings. It can be used under compression bandages, with wound-healing gels, or with semipermeable films. This flexibility of use, combined with its durability and proven effectiveness, reduces the frequency of dressing changes and improves patients’ quality of life.
Finally, this dressing stands out for its exemplary skin tolerance and clinical versatility—criteria that are now essential when selecting a modern healthcare device. It is much more than just a bandage: it is a therapeutic tool in its own right, designed to support every stage of the healing process.

Start bythoroughly cleaning the wound according to current guidelines. Gently dry the skin around the wound to avoid irritation. Choose the appropriate dressing size, making sure it extends at least 1 to 2 cm beyond the injured area. Trim it if necessary to fit the shape and location of the wound.
Next, apply the dressing. Remove the first protective liner, then place the adhesive side onto the wound. Peel off the second liner and smooth the dressing over the wound without stretching it. Apply a secondary dressing depending on the type of wound and secure it with an appropriate bandage (such as Tubifast®, gauze, or a semi-permeable film). Monitor the amount of exudate and replace the dressing before it becomes saturated, or as recommended by your healthcare provider.
When removing the dressing, inspect the skin surrounding the wound and the appearance of the wound. This dressing can be used for several days without losing effectiveness, provided that its condition and that of the secondary dressing are monitored regularly. Compatible with gels and compression devices, it can be incorporated into a comprehensive care strategy.
