SPECIALISED DRESSING
Mepitel®
Soft silicone wound contact layer
Mepitel is a wound-contact layer that can be left in place for up to 14 days depending on the
condition of the wound. The long wear time of Mepitel reduces the necessity for frequent primary
dressing changes. The porous structure of Mepitel allows exudate to pass into an outer absorbent dressing.
The Safetac layer prevents the outer dressing from sticking to the wound and ensures atraumatic dressing
changes. The Safetac layer seals around the wound edges and prevents exudate from leaking onto the
surrounding skin, thus minimizing the risk of maceration.
Benefits of Mepitel
" minimizes pain and trauma at dressing changes
" may remain in place for up to 14 days which in turn ensures undisturbed wound healing
" open mesh structure allows for application of topical agents and passage of exudate into
secondary dressing" enables less frequent dressing changes
" minimizes the risk of maceration
" maintains product properties over time - leaves no residues and does not dry out
" transparent for easy wound inspection during application and during wear
" conforms well to body contours, promoting patient comfort during wear
" stays in place; conforms well to body contours
" may be cut
" low potential for skin irritation and allergy
Areas of use
