Mepilex Transfer Ag is an advanced, ultra-thin antimicrobial foam dressing designed for the specialized management of wounds that are difficult to dress or prone to infection. This 12.5 x 12.5 cm dressing acts as a highly conformable "transfer layer," allowing wound fluid (exudate) to move vertically into a secondary absorbent layer. It is specifically infused with silver sulfate, which begins to inactivate a wide range of wound-related pathogens within just 30 minutes, providing a sustained antimicrobial barrier for up to 14 days. This makes it an essential choice for patients in India managing chronic ulcers, traumatic wounds, or partial-thickness burns where infection control is a priority.

What sets Mepilex Transfer Ag apart is the integration of Safetac® technology—the original less-pain soft silicone contact layer. This innovation ensures that the dressing adheres gently to the surrounding skin but does not stick to the moist wound bed, significantly reducing pain and tissue trauma during changes. Its thin and flexible design allows it to conform perfectly to awkward body contours like joints, fingers, or heels. Whether used in a clinical setting under compression bandages or for at-home recovery, Mepilex Transfer Ag supports an undisturbed healing environment by keeping the wound protected and the surrounding skin dry and healthy.

Benefits:

Rapid Antimicrobial Action: Silver ions start killing bacteria and fungi within 30 minutes and remain effective for up to 2 weeks.
Pain-Free Removal: Safetac technology prevents the dressing from pulling at the wound, ensuring gentle and comfortable changes.
Efficient Fluid Transfer: Moves wound fluid into a secondary dressing to prevent skin softening (maceration) and reduce the frequency of primary dressing changes.
Highly Conformable: The thin, flexible foam stays in place even on difficult-to-dress areas or under tight compression.
Reduces Odor: By reducing the microbial load in the wound, it helps manage and minimize unpleasant wound odors.

How to Use ( Mepilex Transfer Ag )

Cleanse & Prep: Gently clean the wound with sterile saline or water and pat the surrounding skin completely dry.
Size the Dressing: If needed, you can cut the 12.5 x 12.5 cm dressing to fit the specific shape of the wound using sterile scissors.
Apply: Remove the protective release film and place the sticky side directly onto the wound. Ensure it overlaps the dry surrounding skin by at least 2 cm.
Add Secondary Layer: Apply an appropriate absorbent secondary dressing (such as a thicker foam or pad) over the Mepilex Transfer Ag to collect the transferred fluid.
Secure: Fix the dressings in place with a bandage or surgical tape. The secondary dressing can be changed as needed without disturbing the Mepilex Transfer Ag layer.

Safety Information:

Silver Sensitivity: Do not use if the patient has a known allergy to silver or any other components of the dressing.
Medical Procedures: Remove the dressing prior to radiation therapy, X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI scans.
Avoid Oxidizers: Do not use in combination with oxidizing agents like hydrogen peroxide or hypochlorite solutions.
Professional Supervision: This product should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, especially for infected wounds.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and do not use if the sterile packaging is damaged.
