Mepitel is a gentle wound contact layer featuring Safetac technology on both sides—the less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. It is designed to gently conform to the skin without adhering to moist wounds, allowing for easy removal without damaging the skin, resulting in less pain for the patient.

Safetac technology also protects new tissue and intact skin, helping wounds remain undisturbed to support faster natural healing. It seals the wound margins to protect the skin from leaks and maceration.

The perforated design of Mepitel allows exudate to pass through to a secondary absorbent dressing. It can be left in place while delivering topical treatments, reducing the need for frequent primary dressing changes and allowing secondary dressing changes without disturbing the wound.

Mepitel promotes true undisturbed healing, remaining in place for up to 14 days. Clinically proven to heal scalds faster and with less pain and cost compared to silver sulfadiazine, it leaves no residues and maintains its functional qualities over time. Its transparency enables easy assessment of healing progress without removing the contact layer.

Mepitel is designed to protect both the wound and surrounding skin and is clinically proven for use in treating a wide range of wounds, including:

• Skin tears
• Skin abrasions
• Sutured wounds
• Partial-thickness burns
• Lacerations
• Partial and full-thickness grafts
• Diabetic ulcers
• Venous and arterial ulcers

Additionally, Mepitel can be used as a protective layer on non-exuding wounds, blisters, fragile skin, and exposed delicate tissues. Its open structure allows topical ointments to pass through when clinically indicated.

Mepitel Soft Silicone Wound Contact Layer can be used for:

• Skin tears
• Surgical incisions
• Partial-thickness burns
• Fixation of partial and full-thickness grafts
• Diabetic foot ulcers, venous, and arterial leg ulcers
