Mepitel® Film

Transparent Film Dressing

Description

Transparent film dressing to protect fragile and sensitive skin, reducing the risk of skin lesions.

Mepitel® Film is designed to protect fragile and sensitive skin and to minimize the risk of skin breakdown. You can use this gentle breathable film as the sole dressing or in combination with other products.

The thin structure of Mepitel® Film is extremely conformable and adapts well to surface irregularities and different body contours. Provides a transparent, flexible cover to protect your patients' skin or wounds from bacterial contamination, fluid penetration or other external contamination.

The instant seal avoids the need for additional fixation - thanks to Safetac® , the original silicone adhesive contact layer that minimizes pain With Safetac, you can easily remove the dressing without damaging the skin. This means less pain for patients.

Mepitel® Film can be used as a fixation zone for aggressive patches, allowing the devices to be securely attached to the patient's skin, without causing damage or pain upon removal.

Mepitel® Film can also be used to significantly reduce the skin damage induced by radiotherapy after radiotherapy treatment of breast cancer. In a recent randomized controlled trial, the severity of the skin reaction was reduced by more than 90%.

• Protects fragile and sensitive skin

Safetac® is the original adhesive silicone contact layer that minimizes pain. We designed it to gently adapt to the skin without sticking to the moist wound so it can be removed easily without damaging the skin. This means less pain for your patients. Safetac also protects the new tissue and intact skin, without disturbing the wound and accelerating its natural healing. It also seals the edges of the wound to protect the skin from leaking exudate and maceration. Combined less pain and less skin damage promote faster healing, which also reduces the cost of treatment.

Since their launch, Safetac technology dressings have won the trust of doctors to treat millions of patients around the world. We are committed to earning this trust by supporting our products with evidence of quality. Did you know that over 450 peer-reviewed studies confirm Safetac's superior performance? This large evidence base includes over 30 RCTs.

When to use Mepitel® Film

Mepitel Film is designed to protect fragile and sensitive skin and to minimize the risk of skin breakdown. It can be used as a secondary dressing, securing eg. gauze or non-woven swabs, or as a barrier for aggressive patches to secure devices to the skin. It can be used as a secondary protective dressing on IV sites when the IV device is secured with adhesive patches or sutures.

How to use Mepitel® Film

• Dry the surrounding skin / skin thoroughly Remove the protective film (with Safetac® printing) to expose the adhesive.
• Place the dressing. Mepitel Film can be repositioned as long as the paper frame is intact. Remove the white paper frame. Do not stretch the dressing during application. For best results, Mepitel Film must overlap the surrounding dry skin by at least 1-2 cm for sizes up to 10x12 cm and by 5 cm for larger sizes in order to achieve a secure fit.
• Firmly smooth the dressing over the skin. Mepitel Film can be removed without causing any skin tearing or pain.
