Mepitel®

Silicone dressing

Description

Gentle bilateral wound contact layer - minimizes pain for your patients

Mepitel® is a gentle bilateral wound contact layer with Safetac® , the original adhesive silicone contact layer that minimizes pain. It is designed to gently adapt to the skin without sticking to the moist wound. In this way it can be removed easily without damaging the skin. This means less pain for 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.

Perforated design lets exudate pass over a secondary absorbent dressing. Plus, you can leave it in place, easily administering topical treatments. Dressing integrity reduces the need for frequent primary dressing changes and allows for secondary dressing changes without disturbing healing.

• Undisturbed healing - can be applied for up to 14 days
• Mepitel was clinically effective in healing burns faster and with less pain and associated costs than silver sulfadiazine.
• It leaves no residue and retains its functional qualities over time
• Excellent transparency, to allow assessment of the progression of healing without removing the contact layer

When to use Mepitel®

Mepitel® with Safetac® protects the wound and skin. It is designed to treat a wide range of wounds such as skin lacerations, skin abrasions, sutured wounds, partial thickness burns, lacerations, partial and full thickness grafts, diabetic ulcers and venous and arterial ulcers. Mepitel can also be used as a protective layer on non-exuding wounds, blisters, fragile skin and exposed fragile tissues.

The open structure of Mepitel allows, where clinically indicated, the passage of topical ointments on the wound.

It is possible to use Mepitel with Mesorb® or, for heavily exuding wounds, with Mextra®Superabsorbent, with Tubifast® fixation and also under compression bandages. Mepitel can also be used in conjunction with negative wound pressure therapy (NPWT).
