THE EFFECTIVE WOUND CONTACT LAYER
Mepitel is a thin, semi-transparent dressing that will conform to the shape of your wound and should be used in combination with an outer absorbent dressing.Containing the unique and patented Safetac® adhesive on both sides of the dressing, Mepitel prevents the outer absorbent dressing from sticking to your wound (or the skin around your wound). This makes the dressing changes are as pain free as possible and also makes sure that the skin around your wound stays dry and healthy. If you want to learn more about Safetac click here.
Mepitel can be left in place for up to 14 days, depending on the condition of your wound, which means that only the outer dressing needs replacing during the 14 day period as and when needed.
