Will Mepilex Lite cause any wound maceration?
Mepilex Lite minimizes the risk of maceration as the Safetac layer seals around the wound, forcing the exudate to pass into the dressing and thereby preventing the exudate from leaking onto the surrounding skin. However, if Mepilex Lite is left on a wound with a high exudate level for a longer period of time there might be maceration issues.
